Former Supertramp frontman ROGER HODGSON has asked former bandmate RICK DAVIES not to perform any of the songs he wrote when he tours this summer using the band's name.
Hodgson, who quit Supertramp in 1983, was furious when Davies announced plans to perform a 40th anniversary tour this year, without inviting him to take part.
And he's now trying to block Davies from using any of the songs Hodgson - the band's chief songwriter - penned during his time in the group.
Hodgson says, "I expect Rick to honor the agreement he and I made that the band would not play my songs.
"Since the current Supertramp is a vehicle for Rick’s music, which is very different from my style and songs, it’s important for Supertramp to stay true to Rick’s style and songs and avoid doing covers of my songs. Rick and I both knew that doing that would help create a clear delineation between Supertramp and Roger Hodgson when we agreed to part ways."
