Seattlepi reports that Staley’s mother claims that the surviving members of the band owe her half of the money due to Staley – about 16 percent of the their income. According to the lawsuit, the band has attempted to cut her out of any further payments.
Attorneys for the band contend Mrs. Staley illegally attempted to trademark the Alice in Chains name and that she has already been paid far more than she is due. Staley’s ex-bandmates also say Staley’s heirs will be able to collect royalties on songs he wrote or co-wrote, while arguing McCallum no longer has a role in the band’s business decisions.
