Simon Cowell's newly formed boy band, December 10, is facing potential legal action from a Scottish metal band named December Tenth. The group, which was put together through Cowell's Netflix show 'Simon Cowell: The Next Act', has been accused of causing confusion among fans.
The Scottish metal band December Tenth took to social media to report being inundated with messages intended for the new boy band. In a now-deleted post, they stated: 'It came to light over the last few days that Simon Cowell, Netflix and Universal Music, are involved in a new boy band that share, to some extent, our name December Tenth.' They added that they would like Cowell's team, Universal, or Netflix to get in touch with them and their legal team.
This is not the first time a group associated with Cowell has faced a name dispute. In 2011, Little Mix were forced to change their name from Rhythmix after a conflict with a children's charity of the same name.
NME has reached out to representatives for December 10 and Cowell for comment. The new boy band consists of Hendrik Christoffersen, Cruz Lee-Ojo, John Fadare, Nicolas Alves, Josh Olliver, Danny Bretherton, and Sean Hayden.
