A Leicester band has said it is being forced to change its name by the owners of easyJet, who have started legal action against them.

Easy Life said the airline's parent company EasyGroup was suing them because its name was too similar. The Leicester band said it was certain it had never affected the company's business.

EasyGroup said it would be "unfair" to let the band use the "easy" brand name without royalty payments.

In a statement on social media, Easy Life said the band was being sued because of the similarity of its name to the company. "We've worked hard to establish our brand. I'm certain in no way have we ever affected their business," the band said.

EasyGroup said other companies - including one of the UK's largest catalogue retailers, also called Easylife - paid for the use of its brand name.
