Famous 90s rock band sues its own front man
The lawsuit stems from an onstage brawl in Boston in 2024, which led to the cancellation of their tour and halted plans for a new album.
Guitarist Dave Navarro is also separately suing Farrell for assault and battery over the incident, where Farrell appeared to shove and swing at him.
Farrell's lawyers have dismissed the lawsuit as baseless and a transparent attempt to control the narrative, alleging the band previously made defamatory statements about his mental health.
The brawl, caught on camera, occurred during a performance of Ocean Size, with Farrell's wife later attributing his actions to frustration over stage volume and audience complaints.

Travis Kelce goes for solemn drive in LA while Taylor Swift helps her dad recover from shock heart surgery
Travis Kelce was pictured going for an evening drive around Los Angeles on Friday night while girlfriend Taylor Swift continued to help her father after his major heart surgery. Scott Swift, 73, is on the road to recovery after undergoing a quintuple bypass on his heart over a month ago after a doctor noticed something during a routine checkup. 'The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Taylor has been so concerned with her mother's health struggles over the years that her focus was really only on her. Her dad was always in great shape.' Andrea Swift, 67, has weathered both brain and breast tumors. The Daily Mail learned on Thursday that, as the singer and her family rushed to Scott's bedside, it was Kelce who 'went into total caregiver mode'. Pictures showed the Kansas City Chiefs star driving around Los Angeles on Friday. It was unclear where he was going but he has been extremely present during Scott's health crisis. Whether it's been ordering takeout meals for Taylor - 'making sure she was eating' - or checking in personally on Scott following his surgery, it is understood that NFL star has really risen to the occasion. 'This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right. If Taylor wasn't ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable,' our insider said. And perhaps in the biggest show yet of that 'unbreakable' bond, it can also be revealed that Travis received a much-coveted phone notification... he was added to the Swift family group chat! Thankfully, the dad of two has made a speedy recovery, and a source close to Taylor has since told Daily Mail that Scott's recovery has so far been 'fantastic.' Throughout his recovery from surgery, both Swift, and her younger brother, Austin, were by his side during the scary time. Andrea, who he has been married to for 37 years, was also there to support him. Swift's rep told the outlet that his bypass surgery was not the result of a heart attack. The surgery is quite a major one, as it requires doctors to restore blood flow to certain areas of the heart. Swift has always been close to her parents, especially her father, as he's often seen at her concerts and even at football games to support her Kelce. The health scare comes at a bad time for Kelce, who is due to report for the Chiefs' training camp on Tuesday. Travis and the Chiefs begin their annual training camp in St Joseph, Missouri on July 22 and finish on August 13. They also have three pre-season games in the schedule against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. Travis and brother Jason also announced this week there will be no new episodes of their smash-hit podcast 'New Heights' for the foreseeable future. Jason may be retired from the NFL but his younger brother is still active and will be unable to record while at training camp. As a result, the brothers will not be releasing new episodes of the show - which has 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube - for quite some time. In fact, a specific return date is yet to be confirmed by the duo as they prepare to turn their microphones off after next week's episode, which will be released on July 23. There are some pre-recorded interviews with special guests to come but there will be nothing new from the famous brothers. 'We have come to the end of the road,' Jason announced during this week's show.

Wife of man who died in horrific MRI machine incident reveals sickening details of how he died... and makes shock accusation
The heartbroken wife of a Long Island man who was tragically killed after being pulled into an MRI machine is blaming the imaging technician for his death. Keith McAllister, 61, was critically injured Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury after being violently drawn into the machine by the metal necklace he was wearing. He later died from his injuries, according to Nassau County police. His wife, Adrienne Jones-McAllister, had just completed an MRI on her knee and asked a technician to bring her husband in to help her off the table. When McAllister entered the room - still wearing the 20-pound metal chain his wife said he 'used for weight training' - the machine's powerful magnetic force suddenly pulled him in. 'I saw him walk toward the table and then the machine just snatched him,' Jones-McAllister recalled to News 12 Long Island. 'He went limp in my arms - and this is still pulsating in my brain.' She alleged that the technician allowed her husband into the room despite the visible chain, which had been worn on previous visits to the same facility. 'That was not the first time that guy had seen that chain. They'd had a conversation about it before,' she said. After the incident, McAllister suffered multiple heart attacks and later died from his injuries, she said. McAllister's stepdaughter, Samantha Bodden, echoed her mother's sentiment, blaming the technician for her stepfather's premature death. 'While my mother was laying on the table, the technician left the room to get her husband to help her off the table. He forgot to inform him to take the chain he was wearing from around his neck off when the magnet sucked him in,' Bodden wrote on Facebook Friday. She also pushed back against claims reported by 'several news stations' that McAllister was not authorized to be in the room. 'Several news stations are saying he wasn't authorized to be in the room, when in fact he was because the technician went and brought him into the room,' she wrote on a GoFundMe page organized to help cover burial expenses. According to a release from the Nassau County Police Department, McAllister entered the MRI room while a scan was still underway when the machine's strong magnetic force pulled him in by the metallic chain around his neck. Jones-McAllister told News 12 that she had called out to her husband after asking the technician to get him. She said the technician summoned him into the room, despite his wearing the heavy chain - an item they had even joked about on a previous visit, saying things like: 'Ooooooh, that's a big chain!' When he got close to her, she said, 'at that instant, the machine switched him around, pulled him in, and he hit the MRI.' 'I said: "Could you turn off the machine, call 911, do something - turn this damn thing off!"' she recalled, as tears ran down her face. 'He went limp in my arms.' She added that the technician tried to help her pull McAllister off the machine, but it was impossible. 'My mother and the tech tried for several minutes to release him before the police were called. He was attached to the machine for almost an hour before they could release the chain…' Bodden added in the somber Facebook entry.

After Donald Trump sues Wall Street Journal over claim he wrote bawdy note to paedophile, MoS reveals Bill Clinton sent 'warm and gushing' letter for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday
Bill Clinton wrote a 'warm and gushing' letter which was included in Jeffrey Epstein 's infamous 50th 'birthday book', The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The former US president was one of hundreds who contributed to a heavy leather-bound, gold-embossed album of letters that Epstein's ex-lover Ghislaine Maxwell took more than a year to compile leading up to the landmark date. Mr Clinton's letter is one page and is embossed with: 'From the desk of William Jefferson Clinton' at the top. Donald Trump is now suing The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) for $10billion (£7.46billion) for a story published last week alleging his contribution to the book was a 'sexually suggestive' and 'bawdy' letter to Epstein, framed by the outline of a naked woman with Mr Trump's signature mimicking pubic hair. Mr Trump has branded the letter a 'fake', saying: 'I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language, it's not my words.' Mr Trump has said he parted ways with Epstein before allegations against him became public in 2006. The Mail on Sunday has learned Maxwell, currently serving 20 years in jail on child sex trafficking charges, began asking Epstein's friends for contributions to the birthday book at the end of 2001. It was presented to Epstein, who was later convicted of being a paedophile, on his 50th birthday, on January 20, 2003. Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson – both friends of Epstein at that time – are also believed to have contributed letters to the book alongside Mr Clinton, who regularly flew in Epstein's private jet, dubbed 'the Lolita Express'. Last night, a source said: 'Ghislaine asked everyone they knew and that included presidents, princes and kings. 'Bill Clinton wrote a warm and gushing letter. It was one page and profuse in its admiration for Jeffrey.' The MoS has been told Epstein's close friend, Harvard scholar Henry Rosovsky, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson and computer pioneer Marvin Minsky also all contributed letters. The WSJ claimed Epstein's lawyer Alan Dershowitz wrote a letter but he has yet to comment about the claim. The whereabouts of the original book is not known. It is thought to have been seized during one of the raids on Epstein's homes in Florida and New York, where Maxwell kept 'dozens of albums' filled with pictures of their trips together including holidays to visit Prince Andrew at Balmoral, Buckingham Palace and Windsor. She would have huge leather-bound albums made up after every trip, often with blue leather covers. The letters are believed to have been included in more than 100,000 pages of evidence recently reviewed by 1,000 FBI agents working in 24-hour shifts. It is believed the letters were copied by investigators and entered into evidence as facsimiles around the time the book was seized. A source claimed the WSJ's story was based on a 'poor facsimile' copy of the alleged Trump letter and said: 'The book is now sitting in a storage facility somewhere, if it still exists. 'What was in the evidence pile were poor-quality copies of single pages, not a copy of the whole book.' Mr Trump has found himself embroiled in a row over Epstein with his loyal MAGA base. He had vowed 'full and complete transparency', saying he would release the Epstein files, but his Attorney General Pam Bondi caused outrage earlier this month when she released a statement claiming there was no 'client list' and that no further information would be released, sparking claims of a cover-up. On Friday, Ms Bondi backtracked and filed court documents seeking the release of Grand Jury testimony in both the Maxwell and Epstein cases. Epstein died in jail in 2019 as he awaited trial on child sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide but Maxwell's brother Ian told the Mail yesterday he believed the billionaire was murdered. His sister is currently seeking an appeal in the Supreme Court. Sources say it is unlikely that Prince Andrew will be mentioned in either tranche of documents. Virginia Giuffre accused Epstein of trafficking her three times to Andrew for sex, twice when she was just 17 and under age. Andrew vehemently and consistently denied the charges and later settled a £12 million civil suit with no admission of guilt. The FBI has closed the investigation into Andrew and a source close to the probe said: 'The timelines of the cases are not when Andrew would have been around.' Mr Clinton was approached for comment.
