The Scot who led 80s Australian rock band Men At Work has vowed to “never forgive” those who brought a lawsuit over their anthem Down Under after his bandmate took his own life.
The band were sued in 2009 by Larrikin Music over claims Down Under’s flute riff copied the nursery rhyme Kookaburra, whose publishing rights were owned by Larrikin.
An Australian court ruled in 2010 in favour of Larrikin, and awarded the music publisher five per cent of Down Under royalties, backdated to 2002.
