RonJonSurfer Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Aerosmith Hawaii Lawsuit Heading to Trial The trial scheduled to begin on May 11, 2009 in Hawaii. Rockers Aerosmith are facing legal action from a group of fans over a canceled concert in Hawaii - and the case is now set to go to trial. The "Walk This Way" hitmakers have been embroiled in the feud since they scrapped a planned show in Maui on 26 September 2007. And fans who planned to attend subsequently launched a legal action - claiming the band canceled the date to focus on a more lucrative gig in Chicago, Illinois earlier that month. The group insist they were unable fly their equipment over to the island in time for the concert. And now the case is heading to court, with the trial scheduled to begin on 11 May 2009 in Hawaii. Attorney Brandee Faria, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the fans, tells TicketNews.com, "The defendants have already had the opportunity to take the depositions of all of the named class representatives. "After we have received all the discovery (primarily documents) we have asked for from defendants, we will begin taking the depositions of the band and others who were involved in the concert and the subsequent cancellation." Aerosmith's lawyer Jay Handlin, tells the Honolulu Advertiser that he and his clients "think the claims are meritless". The group of fans - who all received refunds - are suing for up to $3 million in damages relating to lost travel and hotel expenses.
