Styx suing over unpaid royalties
Styx suing over unpaid royalties

Rockers Styx is taking legal action over allegations their record company bosses cheated them out of royalty payments.

The “Come Sail Away” hitmakers filed the complaint against executives at A&M Records in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.

In the lawsuit, the musicians accuse A&M chiefs of devising an elaborate scheme to “avoid… royalty obligations” and con them out of a fortune they made with ringtone sales and digital downloads.

Styx allege they should have received between $2 and $5 for every dollar they were paid over the years.

The stars are suing for unspecified damages, reports TMZ.
