Vince Neil of rock band, Motley Crue, is facing a possible legal battle with his former lawyer after it is claimed he owns $62,000 (£38,750) in unpaid legal fees.

Partners at California-based firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton claim Neil racked up the big bill in 2008, using their services to negotiate entertainment and corporate agreements.

Neil has yet to respond to the lawsuit, reports Blabbermouth.net. The singer is currently preparing to record his new solo album, Tattoos n' Tequila, which is due for release in spring 2010.

When asked recently about the much-anticipated record, Neil told The News Tribune, "It's rock 'n' roll. That's it. It has nothing to do with Motley Crue. Tattoos and tequila is basically my life."
