Singer loses
court battle
over contract
United Press International
ORLANDO, Fla. — Country-
western singer Hank Williams
Jr. has been ordered to pay
$98,606 for not showing up at an
1982 outdoor concert that he
maintained was cancelled be
cause of bad weather.
An Orange County jury
ruled Saturday that Williams,
34, breached his contract with B
& K Productions of Kissimee by
not appearing at an April 10,
1982 concert at the Central Flor
ida Fairgrounds.
The jury awarded the prom
oters $98,606 in damages. Court
records show the company lost
more than $100,000 because of
Williams’ cancellation.
Williams lost a countersuit
charging he was entitled to
$13,000 under an agreement
with promoters that guaranteed
him the full amount in case of
“inclement weather.” But the
jury said he could keep $11,500
advanced to him.
The ruling marked the
second time in three months
that Williams was found guilty
of breaking a performance con
tract. In October, a district court
jury in Sherman awarded
$160,000 to a club owner who
charged Williams went on state
too drunk to sing.
“We felt we were going to win
^ *
all along,” said J. Michael
Malone, an attorney for B & K
Productions. The promoters
said they were left with
thousands of angry fans and 200
cases of hot dogs after the can
cellation.
Williams and his attorneys
could be reached for comment
after the ruling.
During the four-day trial,
Williams had testified he was
told the concert was canceled be
cause of bad weather and that
the wet stage would be too dan
gerous for electronic equip
ment.
But Williams’ attorneys failed
to produce a witness who could
convince the jury the stage was
unsafe.
In addition, the promoters
maintained it had rained three
days before the concert but not
on the day of the concert.
The entertainer was staying
with relatives in Alabama the
morning of the concert. He testi
fied he had planned to fly to
Orlando in his private plane for
the 6 p.m. concert, but stayed in
Alabama when his managers in
formed him of the cancellation.
Williams testified he “abso
lutely” did not purposely refuse
to appear at the concert, noting
his 8-year-old son, Sheldon, was
excited about the Orlando trip
because Williams had promised
to take him to Walt Disney
World.
