The Rolling Stones, whose contract with record label EMI expired in February this year, have denied that they are set to sign a multi-million pound record deal with concert promoter Live Nation.
Rumours that The Rolling Stones were set to sign with Live Nation – with whom the likes of Madonna and Jay-Z have lucrative contracts – were circulating on Sunday (June 15).
However, the band have since issued a statement denying they have had any contact with the company.
The statement read: "We are not in talks with Live Nation in connection with any record deal".
