Seal has lost his appeal against the decision to pay his former manager commission.
The singer was instructed by the London High Court last summer to hand over royalties to John Wadlow from his 1991 album Seal and its 1994 follow-up Seal II. However, he challenged the ruling, claiming he had already given Wadlow around £4million when they ceased their business arrangement in 1994.
Now the musician could be looking at a further payment of up to £1million, in accordance with an agreement the two signed earlier in his career. He must also pay the legal costs of his former colleague.
