Coldplay and their former manager have filed competing claims in London’s High Court, with each party seeking millions of pounds from the other.
Dave Holmes, who worked with the band from 2005 to 2022, sued them in August for £10 million in unpaid commission.
In a counter-claim, the group rejected his claim and said Holmes had allowed tour costs to spiral out of control, and demanded £14 million in damages.
The case could come to court if the parties do not settle.
Holmes’ original court case claimed that Coldplay owed him commission for two as-yet-unreleased albums.
