Luxury fashion brand Chrome Hearts voluntarily dismisses its lawsuit against musician Neil Young over the use of the “Chrome Hearts” name for a backing group and related projects. Multiple outlets report that Young began performing with a band using the name “Chrome Hearts” and later released an album titled “Talkin To The Trees” with that group. The fashion label filed suit in September 2025, alleging copyright infringement tied to the band’s name and Young’s use of it. The claims are described as stemming from the label’s branding concerns regarding the “Chrome Hearts” name rather than other aspects of Young’s work. According to reports, the parties now stand with the lawsuit dropped, with no indication in the available accounts that the underlying dispute is being pursued further in court. The dismissals are presented as voluntary, and the reports focus on the decision to end the legal action after it was filed the previous fall.
