Branson In Surprise Bid For Robbie Williams

Independant reports Robbie Williams is being pursued by Sir Richard Branson’s V2 record label, as the singer’s contract with EMI expires in February. A deal is expected to be announced in September, and, wherever he signs, the contract could by more than $60 million. Williams is seeking a complicated deal that would give him greater control over areas such as video recordings and digital downloads.
