GWAR Sued for Allegedly Stealing Late Frontman Oderus Urungus' Ashes
We knew the members of GWAR were into some pretty f*cked-up sh*t, but we really hope hoarding ashes isn't one of them.
According to new court documents, the father of Oderus Urungus (a.k.a. Dave Brockie, the founder and frontman of GWAR who died in March 2014) is suing his late son's surviving band members to pay his estate what Oderus was owed for his final tour, along with stolen bass guitars, artwork, personal effects and Brockie's cremated remains—yes, as in the ashes of Oderus Urungus.
In a lawsuit filed last week in Virginia, William Brockie is looking for $1 million after an alleged breach of contract, unauthorized use of Dave's image and his inability to collect his son's cremains.
In the most concerning part of the suit, William claims he went to retrieve his son's ashes last spring, but was denied entry at the headquarters of GWAR's management company, Slave Pit Inc. He added that a staff member returned "a small fraction of his son's ashes, which were delivered in a used plastic bag with Discover credit card logo on it."
