MELBOURNE, Australia – Pop star Kylie Minogue is suing the British producer who helped launch her career.
The Australian singer has claimed in the Victoria state Supreme Court that PAL Productions, run by famed pop producer Pete Waterman, underpaid royalties for her “Greatest Hits” album which was released in 1992 and rereleased in 2002, the Sunday Age newspaper reported.
An auditing firm hired by Minogue and her family found that Minogue was underpaid by more than 10 percent, or about $830,000. PAL since paid nearly $500,000, but Minogue’s company lodged papers seeking unspecified damages, interest and costs, the paper said.
Waterman’s partnership launched Minogue’s career outside Australia in 1988 when he wrote her the song “I Should Be So Lucky” which topped the British charts for five weeks.
