Nightwish Sued by Composer

Nightwish are being sued by arranger/conductor Riku Niemi, who participated on the group's platinum-selling Century Child release. Niemi claims that the band owes him money for his work on the album. Nightwish keyboardist/mastermind Tuomas Holopainen claims the whole incident is the result of a misunderstanding. According to Holopainen, who wrote the bulk of the material on the album, only a verbal agreement existed between the band and Niemi. "I have nothing against Riku, and I'm greatly disappointed that our co-operation has ended like this. I hope that we will reach the final resolution of this matter soon."
