As previously reported by Ghost Cult, a lawsuit is being brought against Iron Maiden by their former singer Dennis Wilcock. The case alleges lyric theft for early classics ‘Prowler’, ‘Charlotte The Harlot’, ‘Phantom Of The Opera’, ‘Iron Maiden ‘ and ‘Prodigal Son’ from their first two albums 1980’s self-titled effort and 1981’s Killers. An Iron Maiden spokesperson initially told The Sun Newspaper: “This is outrageous. Absolutely ridiculous.” Now according to British law review website Ham High, the band has formally responded to the suit.
