Hendrix Bandmates' Estates Sue Sony for Unfair Royalties
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Two former bandmates of Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, are suing Sony Music Entertainment UK for unfair exclusion from revenue generated by their contributions to The Jimi Hendrix Experiences classic albums. Despite their significant role in one of the most commercially successful acts of their time, their estates allege they were consistently denied their rightful share of earnings. Sony Music Entertainment UK refutes these claims, stating that the original recording copyright belonged to the album producers, not the musicians. This legal battle highlights long-standing issues of artist compensation and copyright in the music industry.
