The 10 most bizarre musical lawsuits ever

Woman sues Newport council after falling in sick at Whitesnake concert - more crazy music legal cases

 

  • Deaf fan Vs One Direction: One woman attempted to sue One Direction in 2012 after she suffered a loss of hearing after attending one of their concerts. We''d have thought total silence would be a relief in the face of all that teen screaming.

Earlier today we told you all about how one unlucky Whitesnake fan went to see the band in Newport and slipped over in a puddle of sick. She is now suing the local council for damages.

The woman, named Lindy Butcher, was at the Loft Bar in Newport Leisure Centre in 2011 to see the legendary 80's rockers when she slipped and injured herself before the group came on stage. A man who helped her to her feet reportedly told her she had slipped in a pool of vomit.
 
"It was horrifying, you don't expect to fall in someone's vomit," Butcher told the South Wales Argus.
 
The claimant states that she suffered bruising and soreness to her knees and muscle spasms between her ribs following the accident and is seeking damages.

However, it is not just Newport who has to content with unlikely lawsuits and court cases. We looked back through the archives and picked ten of our favourite weird and wacky cases including the likes of Slipknot, Britney Spears, Burger King, The FBI and many more.
