Guy Sebastian's former manager Titus Day has admitted to withholding payments and mismanaging the pop star's income after nearly a decade of denials, bringing their bitter legal battle to an end through an out-of-court settlement. Day was previously jailed for four years in 2022 on fraud charges before his conviction was quashed, with a retrial ending in a deadlocked jury in 2023. The settlement sees Sebastian drop his civil claim after Day publicly apologised and acknowledged his regrettable decisions as a poor steward of the singer's finances.
