King Diamond and Hal Patino In War Of Worlds Following Split (A Top Story)
. The bandleader announced on Saturday that Patino had been "relieved of his duties" for the same reason he'd been dismissed in 1990, suggesting drug problems were involved. But Patino fired back yesterday, saying he'd quit after a dispute over payment for concert appearances, and that the reasons given for his departure 24 years ago had been untrue. Now Diamond has responded in a statement he says disproves every point Patino made. He reports: "When someone puts out extreme lies about you and your character, there comes a time when you put a stop to it. This is that time." Addressing the pay claim he reveals Patino was offered $1000 per show and that every other member of the band and crew found their offers acceptable, adding: "If Hal didn't find that satisfactory, no one kept him from leaving. I just wish he hadn't brought this up on the very day/evening I arrived in Denmark [for rehearsals]. He's had an entire year to think about this, and he brings it up now." A lot more - here.
