Jazz pianist Chick Corea filed a discrimination lawsuit against German government officials for canceling a concert because he belongs to the Church of Scien-tol-ogy.
Corea said in the lawsuit filed Thursday that he wants Baden-Wuerttemberg officials to admit they practiced religious discrimination. He was to perform in Stuttgart during the Track and Field World Championships in August.Baden-Wuerttemberg officials said Scientology is a cult that brainwashes its members and led them to order a booking agent to cancel Corea's concert.
