FALL OUT BOY APOLOGISE FOR WILD THINGS MIX UP
Rockers FALL OUT BOY have posted an official apology to children's author MAURICE SENDAK for using characters from his WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE book as the inspiration for new merchandise - without asking him.

The band thought their legal representatives had taken care of any copyright issues, but they now realise they were using images they had no right to on tour T-shirts - and even as characters in a short film shown during their Young Wild Things concerts.
In a statement on their website, the band writes, "We have great respect and affection for his book and it was our intent only to pay homage to it, not to infringe any rights."
It is not known if the apology was prompted by any threat of legal action from Sendak.
