Sublime Issues Statement On New Line-Up And Legal Matters

The two remaining founders of legendary California Dub-Punk band Sublime have issued a public statement on their decision to return as a band. Drummer Bud Gaugh And Bassist Eric Wilson have also included a response to legal action from The Estate of founding lead singer, guitar player, and song writer Bradley Nowell.

"On behalf of the band Sublime, founding members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson are thrilled by the opportunity to reconnect with their fans around the world.  While we all mourn the passing of our brother and bandmate Bradley Nowell some thirteen  years ago, Sublime still has a strong message of hope and love to share -- a  message that is especially important in these difficult times.

Brad's heirs apparently do not share this vision and do not want the band Sublime to continue and tried -- unsuccessfully -- to file a temporary restraining order to prevent the band from carrying on. Despite those objections, we are pleased that the United States District Court has allowed us to perform as Sublime for all of our fans."
