Après s'être fait piquer les recettes de Leisure, une nouvelle histoire de sous-sous :

RADIO RACKET?




Artists including BLUR, TRAVIS and ROBBIE WILLIAMS stand to lose hundreds of thousands of pounds in an alleged fraud.

The Association Of United Recording Artists, who collect and distribute royalties for radio play, has sacked its director Peter Horrey after discovering alleged "significant financial irregularities" according to the BBC.

It is believed that at least £700,000 is unaccounted for, and Horrey's assets have been frozen after a high court injunction was obtained.

Company chairman Stephen King said: "We do not yet have a final figure for the money that has gone missing. We have called in specialist auditors to search through our accounts back to 1999, but £700,000 is our estimate so far.

"We have written to all our members informing them of the situation and they have been supportive of us. We are taking action to recover the money."

Je crois que les royalties gagné sur les vente de l'album ont été mal géré, ce qui à fait que le groupe debut 92 avait une dette de... bcp bcp de sous (1Million £ ?) ce qui à obliger le groupe à enchainer les longue tournée (Etats Unis, Japon... etc).

moué c surtout aussi que les essex boys ont craqué assez vite la thune qu'on leurs as filé d'avance(je vs laisse devinez en quoi... ) ...
et comme dit siam , ils ont du reboucher les trous..concerts ventes de tee shirts etc ...

January 1992 - Blur discover that their manager has left them in financial straits. They are missing £40,000 from their accounts and £60,000 in debt. All the money that they had made from Leisure has gone. Collins is sacked and Chris Morrison is called in to become their new manager. He manages to pull the band out of their problems - their money problems, at least...

C'est ce qu'a voulu dire Siam mais t'as déformé là...

D'où la méga-tournée aux usa en 92 comme dit Siam et la tournée Rollercoaster.

haaaaa okiiiiii merci!
