Ken Caillat Sues Broadway's Stereophonic Over Copyright

Ken Caillat, a former sound engineer for Fleetwood Mac's iconic album Rumours, has filed a lawsuit against the Tony-winning Broadway play Stereophonic, alleging it plagiarizes his 2012 memoir, Making Rumours. The lawsuit claims that Stereophonic incorporates specific scenes, dialogues, and character arcs from Caillat's book without permission, asserting that the play 'copies the heart and soul' of his narrative. Playwright David Adjmi has previously defended the work, stating that any similarities are coincidental and that the play draws on a variety of influences. However, Caillat argues that the connections to Fleetwood Mac's history are evident and impact his plans to adapt his memoir into a film. The play has garnered significant acclaim, winning five Tony Awards and grossing over $20 million, further complicating the dispute. As of now, no members of Fleetwood Mac have publicly commented on the legal situation.
