Suit Claims Insurer Paid $400,000 To AEROSMITH

April 17, 2009

Rick Daysog of HonoluluAdvertiser.com reports: AEROSMITH received nearly $400,000 in insurance money after it canceled a sold-out concert on Maui in 2007, according to court papers filed this week against the popular Boston-based rock group.

Tuesday's legal filing also quoted from a 2007 e-mail by the concert's co-promoter, Shep Gordon, that compared Hawaii to "a third world country" where disappointed AEROSMITH fans would end up suing over the band's no-show.

"At the very least a group of AEROSMITH fans will be greatly disappointed, inconvenienced and possibly put at a financial loss," the filing quoted Gordon's Sept. 17, 2007, e-mail as saying.

"We have very eager attorneys here who would get involved. Remember, in some ways, this is a third-world country."
