AceShowbiz - The long-standing legal battle surrounding the iconic punk band The Ramones seems to have reached a conclusion. The feud, which involved Johnny Ramone’s widow, Linda Cummings-Ramone, and Joey Ramone’s brother, Mickey Leigh, has finally been settled, putting an end to years of courtroom contention.

Despite being legendary bandmates, the members of The Ramones were not brothers, and their personal relationships were often strained. After their passing in the 2000s, this discord seemed to carry over to their family members. Linda and Mickey clashed over various issues, including the use of the family name, a planned Netflix biopic featuring Pete Davidson, and even a ceremonial first pitch at a Mets game.

Recent court documents reveal that the two parties have come to an agreement, effectively resolving their disputes. Although they previously shared the band's intellectual property 50-50, Linda has now acquired Mickey's share, granting her “total control” over the band's holding company.

With the legal issues behind them, fans are left wondering if a film about The Ramones is on the horizon. As the lyrics go, “We’ve got nothin’ to do, nowhere to go-oh…”
