Pop singer Seal's appeal to overturn a British court ruling ordering him to pay his ex-manager an estimated $2 million in unpaid commission from his first two albums has failed.
Lord Justice Toulson dismissed Seal's appeal to the High Court ruling last June that his John Wadlow was entitled to the royalties under a 1995 agreement.
Seal, whose real name is Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, claimed the agreement was not valid as Wadlow had used “undue influence” on him.
But Toulson said the settlement turns were "not unreasonable or oppressive" from Seal's point of view.
Undiscovered Seal first met Wadlow in a recording studio in 1987.
