Former Guns N' Roses member Chris Pitman has lost his patience and reportedly filed a lawsuit against the band's lead singer, Axl Rose, over an unpaid debt for services the multi-instrumentalist provided to the group. Keyboardist Pitman claims that Rose wrote him a promissory note for $125,000 that he was owed for over a year's worth of work. In the suit, Pitman claims that Rose was supposed to pay up by October 2012, but has failed to do so. Pitman says that Rose now owes him more than $163,000 with interest.

Pitman joined Guns N' Roses in 1998 and remained in the band's lineup until earlier this year. During his time with the band, Pitman served as a second keyboardist, second bassist, provided backing vocals and added some percussion and programming during the group's shows. He also did some co-writing with the band over the years.

He is featured on every song on the band's sixth album, Chinese Democracy, and was one of the longest-serving members of the group's pre-reunion lineup.

The band's two-month North American stadium tour, featuring Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, grossed a massive $116.8 million with over one million tickets sold, according to Billboard.com. The band grossed an additional $15 million earlier in the spring from two shows in Las Vegas and another pair at Coachella.
