plus: Buddy Rich lawsuit. Doobie Brothers drummer in cycle accident. Napster's appeal denied. EMI's online music. Ryman Auditorium.

Two concert promoters have filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Destiny's Child [ tickets ], claiming that the group owed the promoters two make-up shows that it failed to play, Billboard.com reported.

Destiny's Child missed a scheduled June 2000 show in Farmington, N.M. To make up for it, the promoters claim, the group agreed to perform two shows--one on Saturday (6/23) at the Farmington venue, and one at what Billboard calls "an undisclosed Southern California location." The group did not do either of those shows.

None of the parties had anything to say to Billboard about the lawsuit.
