The Rolling Stones Leave EMI, Sign With Universal

The Rolling Stones have departed ways with their long term home of EMI and signed a new deal with Universal imprint Polydor.

The veteran rockers had been with EMI for 30 years, until their deal ran out at the end of March. A statement for the band reads: "Universal are forward thinking, creative and hands-on music people. We really look forward to working with them."

This isn't the first time The Rolling Stones have worked with Universal, after the label released a live album by the band back in March.
