Breaking: Chrome Hearts Drops Suit Against Neil Young Over Band Name

Chrome Hearts voluntarily dropped its copyright infringement lawsuit against Neil Young over his backing band’s name, filed in September 2025. The fashion label claimed “Chrome Hearts” was too similar to its branding, but Young’s team argued the band predated the lawsuit’s claims. The dismissal ends a high-stakes legal clash, reinforcing artists’ rights to longstanding creative identities amid brand-overlap disputes.
