Sounds like Stewart is taking advice from big brother Miles on this one:

Stewart Copeland, the former drummer for the Police who was recruited as the drummer for a Doors reunion, has filed a complaint against Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger because they hired a replacement drummer.

In the complaint, filed Friday (March 7) in Los Angeles Superior Court, Copeland claims breach of oral contract and asks for damages in excess of $1 million. The complaint asserts that Copeland's contributions to the reunion brought rave reviews and added credibility to the group.

Copeland performed with Manzarek, Krieger, and new singer Ian Astbury -- formerly of the Cult -- at several dates over the last year, including Ontario, Canada; Fontana, California; and the House of Blues in Los Angeles. They also performed in Las Vegas and on the Tonight Show.

Copeland was replaced by L.A. drummer Ty Dennis for a January 31 press event in Los Angeles. At the time, Manzarek said that Copeland was recovering from an elbow injury he suffered when mountain biking in November. Speaking about upcoming shows, he said that "If Stewart can do it, fine. If he can't do it, Ty'll do it."

The band's original drummer, John Densmore, has also taken legal action against Manzarek and Krieger, seeking an injunction against them using the Doors name. At a February 7 Doors concert in Los Angeles, advertisements and merchandising read "The Doors 21st Century."
