Pophouse Entertainment, the investment firm co-founded by ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus, has announced a partnership with legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, acquiring a stake in the publishing and master music rights, and the name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. Billboard reports that Pophouse has acquired a 50% “stake” in the assets; further terms were not disclosed. The deal includes rights to the band’s iconic mascot, the ghoulish character “Eddie.” However, for the sake of context, Pophouse paid upward of $300 million for a similar deal with Kiss, although the percentage was unclear. The partnership, which has been structured and developed over the last year between Pophouse and the band’s co-manager, Andy Taylor, “will enable Iron Maiden to pursue new creative ventures that connect with existing fans as well as bringing their extensive catalogue to new audiences,” according to the announcement.
