Chicago - Popular 1980s band Duran Duran is suing its own fan club.
The group known for hits like Notorious and Hungry Like the Wolf accuses the suburban Chicago-based club of breaching contract by not paying the band promised revenue.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Duran Duran's lawsuit names Glenview-based Worldwide Fan Clubs, Inc as the defendant. The suit was filed in Cook County Circuit Court this week.
It says the band entered a 2010 contract allowing the club to collect memberships and sell merchandise. The contract also allegedly stipulates Duran Duran would get 75% of the profits.
Someone who answered the phone on Wednesday at the Glenview office of Worldwide Fan Clubs said the company had no comment.
