In a music duo, there are only two ways to end a career. Either it ends well or it ends very badly. Although the hope that reconciliation will occur is still plausible as there are many who are united. andy and lucasthings got … Things got really ugly between the two after the former divorced in El Hormiguero, where he accused his partner of unfair distribution of income.
He also confessed that it was true that they had pretty strong fightbut these things are more common than what’s reported in his profession (Lucas also apologized at the time for the aggression that appeared during the debate), and it’s a settled issue, so let’s take a look at the important things. That’s not so normal or acceptable anymore.
Without providing evidence, Andy said on the Pablo Motos show that the two caches did not “match” what he had in his pocket, but he did not confirm that. Since they left Sony, “he takes care of everything”he declared. “I can’t see my account. We each had our own SL, but in this crisis, I was like a bather on the beach and had to close my SL. Since then, he’s been charging me for everything and I can’t see the numbers. “I have to take his word for it.”
“Either he’s lying or he doesn’t understand the explanation,” said those closest to Lucas. “A lot of companies took part in the tour. For example, sound and lighting equipment costs between €30,000 and €40,000 depending on the venue. It could cost EUR and the rent could be about the same amount. We are already on the verge of reaching 80,000 people. Add to that the cost of civil liability insurance, registration fees, ambulances, fences, stage walkways (equivalent to about 10,000 EUR), plus the costs of catering, travel, hotels, SGAE… If not enough tickets are sold, the final balance could be less than 30,000 EUR. When that happened, Lucas ended up eating the debt, leaving Andy to collect.he gave him 2,500 euros.
Andy also said on TV that he was having financial problems during the crisis and that Lucas helped him. “And even during the pandemic, he was there for me in many moments,” the singer admitted. Although he did not specify, he said he had lent him 60,000 euros, of which he still had to pay back nearly 10,000 euros.Sources close to Lucas reported that the person who provided the documents proving the loan specified that repayments would be at zero interest, very favorable terms agreed to by both parties “out of professional interests, personal relationships, and primarily out of love and mutual goals.”
The agreement also provided that: A return would be done for Andy by “looking for the most logical and least serious way”Between 500 and 2,000 euros will be deducted from the concert’s share of the profits “until full repayment is reached within five years,” or a 50% surcharge will be imposed. “If payment is not possible or sufficient, whether through profits derived from the actions of Andy & Lucas or otherwise, you hereby waive any rights that may accrue to you as part of Andy & Lucas.” The document was signed by both parties in June 2020, so Andy should have finished paying it five months ago. but, Lucas is giving him more time.
As for another accusation Andy made on El Hormiguero, when Andy declared that he had never seen a cent of their Spotify listens or YouTube views, Lucas’ aides responded:Andy and Lucas’ YouTube channel belongs to Sony and has a lifetime contract. “They both have an application on their phones called Artist Portal where they can fully see the money being generated and their bills are the same for both.”
On top of that, Lucas receives a letter from the Treasury stating that Andy owes money and should not pay it back.. What Lucas did was pay money out of his pocket to the Treasury so that Andy could collect the celebrations, which he then deducted from him.
Even though Andy had delegated all the group’s bureaucratic tasks to his partners, “Lucas was not getting paid for it. If he earned more, it was Lucas’s fault.” Sold the copyright to a catalog of 120 songs.. Furthermore, during the farewell tour, they received a letter from SGAE claiming that they had not been paid €150,000 in royalties for the registered repertoire. Originally, the two of them were supposed to pay, but if they asked Lucas for half, the tour would be cancelled, so Lucas ended up paying the entire amount. “He was constantly threatening to cancel tours and didn’t care about the people who lost their jobs because of him.”
That’s why Lucas made “that Telecinco documentary to pay off SGAE, even though he felt like he sold his soul to the devil,” the same source reveals, concluding by predicting Andy’s uncertain future.He is lazy, arrives 10 minutes before each concert, and drinks two bottles of rum a day.…In her new song, she says that she felt like a puppet when she was with Lucas…but he always cared for her like a sweet son. From now on, you’ll become a doll. ”
