NEW YORK - May 25, 2009- Liberty DeVitto has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's state Supreme
Court demanding Joel pay him overdue royalties. The 58-year-old
says he was Joel's drummer from 1975 to 2005 and helped the piano
man craft some of his biggest albums.
DeVitto's lawyer says he doesn't know how much his client is
owed. He says Joel's sales are subject to an audit.
DeVitto says he's working as a studio musician and teaching to
support his family, including three children.
Joel has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. His
spokeswoman hasn't returned a telephone message seeking comment.
