Seavey will take the stand as a “witness in advocacy of my bandmates” in the upcoming trial
On Wednesday, Seavey announced the cancelation of his upcoming solo tour, explaining that he has to stand as a witness in a trial for the lawsuit his former management company Signature Entertainment brought against hisThe members of Why Don’t We were sued for breach of contract and defamation in August 2021. In return, the group counter-sued Signature shortly after, alleging financial and emotional abuse and that their former managers violated the Florida Talent Agency Act.
“I’m totally gutted to even be typing this, but a recent shift in events has occurred in my life,” he wrote, adding that his attendance at the trial postponed from Monday to Oct. 16 was “mandatory.” Months ago, Seavey was freed from his contract with Signature after he filed for bankruptcy, with a judge telling him he was “free to pursue my solo career.” Although he’s no longer directly involved in the Why Don’t We lawsuit, Seavey will take the stand as a “witness in advocacy of my bandmates.”“Jack, Zach, Jonah, and Corbyn are my family and I hope you can understand,” he wrote. “I will miss you so so much but I promise to see everyone in 2024 for my debut album and world tour.
Seavey was set to go on a three-week tour across the United States to promote his debut, seven-track EP, which featured tracks such as “Give It a Week,” “Fall Into You,” and lead single ““This is devastating for me because performing my music live for you is my favorite thing to do in the world, and every fiber of my being dreads the thought of ever letting you all down this much,” he wrote, “but this trial is unavoidable for me.
The singer previously addressed the legal battle with Why Don’t We’s former management company as he surprise-released his debut EP last month. “Earlier this year I took some big legal risks to attempt to free myself from my managers . I simply wanted to leave the past behind and continue forward with a solo carreer,” wrote the singer.
