(Blabbermouth) Papa Roach was sued late last year by former drummer Dave Buckner, who claimed that he had not been receiving his fair share of the group's earnings and that he had not received a complete accounting from the group or its management. Frontman Jacoby Shaddix said this week that the suit is currently being settled, and that his feelings about Buckner have not been affected by it. "Legal is legal, you know, but it's like the essence of the lawsuit is to dissolve his business relationship with us, which is completely understandable," he said. "But as far as like personal goes, I, you know, we wish no ill will on him, and he's got a new project he's doing with actually a good friend of ours from back home, Jake. They've got a thing called Last Angels that they're doing."
Papa Roach permanently split with Buckner at the beginning of 2008, following a year-long period in which he went to rehab twice. He was replaced by ex-Unwritten Law drummer Tony Palermo.
