Duran Duran sued their own fan club. The band who sang "Hungry Like a Wolf" says their Chicago-based company Worldwide Fan Clubs was taking too big a bite out of their paychecks.

According to Chicago Sun-Times, Duran Duran filed a breach of contract suit WorldWide Fan Club, based in Glenview, Ill. for not paying the money they owed. The Chicago Sun-Times reports the English rock band signed a contract with Worldwide Fan Clubs in 2010 that guaranteed the band 75 percent of all profits, while the suburban Chicago-based club could keep the rest. But the iconic 80s hitmakers say the club hasn't been paying the band their share.

WorldWide Fan Club officials have not yet issued any comment.

Duran Duran put a statement on their official web site readsing "Duran Duran value and respect their many fans around the world and feel compelled to correct the media's misrepresentation of its lawsuit against Worldwide Fan Clubs, Inc. The Band emphatically states that the lawsuit is not against its loyal fans but simply seeks to protect its rights against the company that formerly managed its fan club. Duran Duran have now brought their official fan community in-house and continue to make every effort to provide the highest level of service."

 The suit said the fan club had exclusive rights to provide fan club services, according to a contract signed in December 2010. WorldWide Fan Club was allowed to sell Duran Duran products, maintaining their membership records and collect dues from Duran Duran fans.

Duran Duran are hard at work on new material that they are recording with John Frusciante, who used to shred his fingers with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In April the band posted a statement on their official website gushing "We are all such big fans of John's work and are honoured to have him adding his magic to the record. There are no current plans for John to tour with us, but his guitars sound incredible on the tracks."
