Musical mishap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anthrax members Charlie Benante, Frank Bello, and frequent VH1 panelist Scott Ian found themselves\u00a0caught in a mosh<\/a>\u00a0in 2009 when Dan Nelson sued the group for some inaccurate statements they made after his departure from the band. \u00a0The band \u00a0published that an illness had caused the singer to leave and the band to cancel an upcoming concert tour. \u00a0Nelson pursued a $2.65 million lawsuit to refute Anthrax\u2019s “intentional defamation” and collect lost royalties. \u00a0“I was never seriously ill or sick at all, as reported in Anthrax’s 7\/17\/09 press release,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cThis statement misled fans, friends, and family members into believing that I was seriously ill when I was not.” \u00a0To settle the suit,\u00a0Nelson was offered a confidential, yet \u201cfairly small”, monetary amount and was given co-writing credit on 11 of the 14 songs on the band’s 2011 release Worship Music<\/em>.<\/p>\n
