Simon Cowell's newly formed boy band, December 10, is reportedly facing potential legal action over their name. The group, assembled through the Netflix show 'Simon Cowell: The Next Act', shares a name similar to Scottish metal band December Tenth, who have been inundated with messages from confused fans.
In a now-deleted social media post, December Tenth addressed the issue, stating that Simon Cowell, Netflix, and Universal Music are involved with the new boy band. They invited representatives to contact their legal team, noting the influx of new followers but questioning their authenticity.
This is not the first time a Cowell-associated group has faced a name dispute. In 2011, Little Mix changed their name from Rhythmix after a conflict with a children's charity. NME has reached out to representatives for December 10 and Cowell for comment.
'Simon Cowell: The Next Act' follows Cowell's search for his next boy band, with an official synopsis promising an all-access pass from open casting calls to the debut single. Cowell expressed confidence in the process but admitted fears about finding talent, comparing it to his formation of One Direction in 2010.
