Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine must reportedly pay his former manager over $1million in a new legal settlement.In court documents seen by Rolling Stone, Mustaine is set to pay Cory Brennan over $1.4million (£1.1million). This comes as Brennan’s company 5B Artist Management alleged that Mustaine “unexpectedly and unceremoniously terminated [5B], stating no reason for the termination.” Up until their termination, 5B had managed the legendary thrash metal band since 2014, and currently manages Slipknot, Lamb of God, and other metal heavyweights.In the complaint, 5B suggested that Mustaine wished for his son to manage him, further claiming that the singer, songwriter and guitarist did not pay them for several commissions on over 40 tour dates and merchandise.
