Split Enz and Crowded House member Neil Finn has bought a controversial Auckland pub, with plans to turn it into a wellness retreat.
Edinburgh Castle in Eden Terrace has a history of violent incidents, including the manslaughter of rising MMA fighter Fau Vake in 2021.
Stuff reported in 2023 the bar had surrendered its liquor licence, but continued to operate poker machines and sell hotel rooms.
Neil Finn’s assistant confirmed to RNZ the musician had purchased Edinburgh Castle, which neighbours his existing Roundhead Studios.
Finn was on tour with Split Enz and was unavailable to comment himself.
