George Michael quote from the Daily Mail article:
“‘And all I wanted at that time was success. You have a right to walk away. The music industry takes away that right from every artist it signs.”
George Michael’s very public struggles are well documented, but apparently there is a new documentary due to be released soon.
I have always had my suspicions about his death. George Michael, like Prince, like Michael Jackson – all dealt with Sony and had major issues with the label.
All died young in strange circumstances.
I was really proud of him for asserting his Independence and walking away ~ at the height of his popularity, no less. Later on, it seemed like they were dragging him back. I’ll be very interested to see the documentary. Hope it gives a fair representation, for his sake.
Prince wasn’t with Sony!
I believe it was Warner Bros.
Yes! You are right here, my apologies. But the outcome sadly is no different. They’re all evil. I think that Sony owns Prince’s music now.
