A representative for Hipgnosis declined to comment, while the Chili Peppers’ attorney Eric Greenspan — managing partner of Myman, Greenspan, Fox, Rosenberg, Mobasser, Younger & Light, LLP — didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Since 2018, Mercuriadis and Hipgnosis have been on a buying spree, collecting publishing rights for hit songs from some of the music industry’s most prolific songwriters, producers and artists, including Richie Sambora, Neil Young, Lindsey Buckingham and Jimmy Iovine.

Seems like a low ball figure in comparison to some other artists. Still tho how much is actually enough in terms of happiness?
TheCarmenCruz Offspring sold their catalog too a little while back. I guess this is the only way established bands will get big money these days aside from touring.
Good on em, cashing in while the getting is good! If people wont buy physical copies then this is the best way to make money
Good move you only have like three good songs
For how deep their catalog goes, $140 million seems way too low a number.
Low ball figure. These boys are golden.
They kinda sucks now… Guitar musics its for old peoples
Stupid and sad, this trend of selling catalog. I didn't like it when Bowie did it, but thought it was good he cheated AIG out of 50M. However, he also cheated his children and family out of his legacy. All those who have followed this path are ones I have not cared about.
How much longer is bands/singers selling their catalogs going to be news, and not just normal business?
Seems very low.
Bob Dylan got $500mm and they only get $140?! Shame on their management!
That's actually a crazy high amount for their catalog. Basically paying for 3 albums. Blood sugar, californication, and stadium arcadium. With a few songs off one hot minute and mother's milk. Rest are pretty much worthless
That is low balling mang.
That’s nice. whocares
That’s way too cheap.
I've watched enough behind the music to know that this is a bad idea.
can someone explain this to me
World’s richest sexual predators
Mmm me parece poco
That'll buy a whole lotta socks
Fuck it, music is dead anyways.
Since Bob Dylan sold out his publishing rights too for Big Money, here's juicy line from a 1965 Bob Dylan song (he no longer owns): '...money doesn't talk, it swears.'
No way!?! 🤐😬🤨😵
i guess their status as punks just got cancelled

Ya seems low. They need a better negotiator.
Too low but good on the freaky boys
