LOS ANGELES (AP) – Van Halen has settled a lawsuit with the ex-wife of drummer Alex Van Halen over the use of her name.

An attorney for Kelly Van Halen tells The Hollywood Reporter she may use her full name for her business but she must stay away from music-related ventures.

Kelly Van Halen fought for four years for the right to use the name for her construction and interior design company, even though she and Alex Van Halen divorced twenty years ago.

The band had argued her trademarks were confusingly similar to theirs and she was diluting the Van Halen brand.

A band attorney says the dispute has been “amicably resolved.”

The third installment of the Led Zeppelin reissue campaign that launched last year will feature remastered and expanded versions of the band’s sixth studio album, the 1975 two-LP set Physical Graffiti, which will arrive next month.

The revamped album will hit stores February 24, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of Physical Graffiti‘s original release.

As with Led Zeppelin’s previous five reissues, Physical Graffiti will be available in multiple configurations and formats.

These include a standard two-CD set; a deluxe three-CD edition boasting a “companion audio” disc; vinyl versions of those two packages; and a Super Deluxe Boxed Set containing the double album and the companion audio on both CD and vinyl, plus a 96-page book of rare and unseen photos and memorabilia, a high-def digital download of the music, and a print of the album’s cover.

The companion audio disc features seven tracks, including an orchestral rough mix of “Kashmir” titled “Driving Through Kashmir”; an early mix of “Trampled Under Foot” titled “Brandy & Coke”; and an early version of “In the Light,” dubbed “Everybody Makes It Through.”

Physical Graffiti topped the Billboard 200 and yielded one top 40 hit, “Trampled Under Foot,” which reached #38 on the Hot 100 chart.

The album has been certified 16-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, meaning — as a double album — that it has sold more than eight  million copies in the U.S.
