Bon Jovi Sued

Rock group Bon Jovi is apparently being sued a massive $400 billion (£216 billion) after an American musician accused its frontman of stealing his lyrics.

The Boston Herald reports that Massachusetts-based musician Samuel Bartley Steele claims Jon Bon Jovi plagiarised his 2004 song '(Man I Really) Love This Team'.

Steele alleges the rocker heard the song and used the track's lyrics to create 'I Love This Town'.

He said: "I know I’m the little fish and they’re the big fish, but they f**ked with the wrong piranha. I want credit, acknowledgement and an apology. I know that I’m right."

Bon Jovi's spokesman was not available for comment, the paper reports.

I love this band

This will be settled out of court before it's thrown out of court.

The guy deserves a few quid just for having the balls to admit he had anything to do with the song.

Who does he think he is, Dr Evil?

You plagiarised a song and got a tiny bit of success so I want the same amount as Africa's world debt!


Bon Jovi suck.

It took him 4 years to become upset?

Indeed. Why have billions, when he could have... millions?
