“Robbie Williams will refuse to make another album for his record label EMI, according to a report. The singer is still under contract with EMI, but is unhappy after the label was taken over by private equity firm Terra Firma, his manager has told The Times. Tim Clark told the paper Williams would not deliver a new album because he had no idea how the label would handle it. Radiohead and Sir Paul McCartney have already left EMI, with reports that Coldplay and Kylie Minogue may follow. EMI's UK chief executive - who signed many of the label's current stars - also left the company on Tuesday after 25 years.” (Robbie Williams ‘goes on strike’, BBC News)
