Incubus' current DJ Chris Kilmore has been granted a three-year restraining order against the DJ he replaced in the band in 1998, Gavin Koppel. Koppel is alleged to have approached Kilmore in a Los Angeles shop on December 28 and threatened to kill him unless he dropped a previous restraining order that had been obtained in 2003.

Kilmore was allegedly told by Koppel: "You will get killed if you don't lift that order... people get killed in the street for that." He is also reported to have tried to fight him. After Kilmore reported the December incident to police, Koppel has been ordered to "turn in or sell guns or firearms, if any, to a licenced gun dealer or turn in to police". He must also stay at least 100 yards away from Kilmore and his girlfriend and must not contact either of them via phone or email.

Kilmore obtained the 2003 restraining order after Koppel spat in his face. Koppel was sacked by Incubus in 1998.
