Culture Club pays former drummer £1.75 million to settle dispute

But a court order published on Tuesday said the band had agreed to end the dispute and a judgement be made in favour of Moss, who will now be paid £1.75 million immediately. As part of the order, Moss will relinquish any right to the Culture Club brand including in connection with any merchandise and concerts.

The High Court trial was also due to cover Moss’s additional claim of an “outstanding balance” of $246,000 under the terms of a band agreement around its 2018 Life Tour.

Jon Moss was raised in a Jewish home by his adoptive parents Loretta and Lionel Moss after being born at the Clapham Jewish Boys Home in south London. He attended Arnold House primary school and the Highgate School where he formed his first band and discovered his talent for music.
