The Rolling Stones are being sued for their song “Living in a Ghost Town.” Sergio Garcia, known as Angelslang as a musician, is suing the band because their song about the exit restrictions during the corona lockdown is said to have originated from two of his songs.
Filing was filed with a New Orleans court on Friday (March 10) alleging that the single was based on the 2006 songs “So Sorry” and 2007’s “Seed of God.” According to this, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would have the “vocal melodies, the chord progressions, the drum beat patterns, the harmonica parts, the electric bass parts, the tempos and other keys” from “So Sorry” and the “harmony and Chord progression and melody” stolen from “Seed of God”, like “billboard‘ reported on the lawsuit. Garcia even gave a demo CD to a member of the Jagger family. “The close family member […] confirmed receipt to the plaintiff by e-mail […] and expressed that the plaintiff’s musical works and style were a sound the Rolling Stones would like to use,” the lawsuit said, although the email itself was not available.
The accused band and its members have not yet (as of March 13) commented on the allegations. The song received more than two million views in the first 48 hours of its release on YouTube on April 23, 2020.
