Mike Portnoy V Dream Theater Denied

Sources yesterday said the drummer had launched a lawsuit against his former bandmates after his surprise decision to quit the prog metal outfit in 2010.

Now Ronald Beinstock, representing Dream Theater, tells Blabbermouth: "On or around April 27, 2011, Mr Portnoy filed a 'Notice With Summons'. This document is not a formal complaint. Further, the document was never served on any of the named defendants, rendering it moot.
