<h1>Dispute over unreleased duet and video after singer's sudden death: ownership, licensing, publicity rights, and estate obligations</h1> A prominent singer died suddenly during a yacht trip, prompting a public tribute from a model-entrepreneur who described a close personal and professional relationship and noted a recently completed but unreleased collaborative song and video. The facts raise likely legal issues including rights to the unreleased recording and music video (ownership, licensing, and posthumous release authority), potential publicity and moral-rights considerations, and contractual obligations between collaborators and the singer's estate. Parties should review any written agreements, copyright registrations, and estate administration procedures to determine authorization for release and revenue allocation.
