Linda Gail Lewis drops sexual harassment charges against Van Morrison

Jerry Lee Lewis' sister, Linda Gail Lewis, has dropped her sexual harassment case against Van Morrison.

"He's pleased that these claims have finally been withdrawn, and he has now accepted a full apology and comprehensive retraction, which represents a complete vindication of his stance from the outset," Morrison's lawyer, Paul Tweed, tells Associated Press. "Mr. Morrison remains very disappointed that the legal process has taken almost two years to reach this stage."

Lewis, who toured extensively as a member of his band, had already had a wrongful dismissal claim against Van rejected by a Cardiff employment tribunal.
