Default Releasing track without session's player permission

Hello,

I recently recorded a CD and paid for the recording session, mixing, mastering, and featured artists so I own the master rights. However, I had a fight with one of the band members who wasn't paid and I was stupid enough to not have an agreement with him before the session.

Am I allowed to release the music without his written permission? I am fine paying any royalties as long as I can release the music.

Warm regards

You're can release it, but you can't make money off it unless he gets paid his portion.

Can you not just call him and ask him for permission? He's going to get paid either way right?
