Rob Tyner’s widow, Rebecca Derminer and her children with Tyner - son Robin Derminer and daughters Elizabeth Derminer and Amy Vallandi - have filed suit against Wayne Kramer, Michael Davis, Dennis Thompson and their related businesses. Tyner died of a heart attack in September 1991. The fifth member the MC5s, Fred (Sonic) Smith, died in 1994.
The remaining members of the band re-formed last year and spent lots of time doing stuff with Levi, as well as making weak and disappointing appearances at festivals such as Leeds and Reading.
