Iron Maiden‘s Steve Harris and Dave Murray and their publishing company Imagem London Limited are being sued over songwriting credits once again. Attorney Barry McKay has filed a copyright dispute on behalf of the band’s former singer Dennis Willcock and Beckett’s Terry Wilson-Slesser, who are seeking damages in excess of £2 million (approximately $2.64 million). Willcock claims he wrote lyrics for “Prowler“, “Charlotte The Harlot“, “Phantom Of The Opera” and “Iron Maiden“ back in 1977, and that he also co-wrote “Prodigal Son” with Harris. As for Wilson-Slesser, he says the group lifted lyrics from Beckett‘s “Rainbow’s Gold“ for “Hallowed By Thy Name.” Iron Maiden’s representative issued a statement to The Sun saying “this is outrageous” and “absolutely ridiculous.” This news comes after a similar case was settled out of court.
