Annie Lennox says she is horrified over inaccurate reporting by the Daily Mirror stating that she was dumped by her record label Sony-BMG.
In a posting at her website, Lennon says "An article has been published in today's Daily Mirror stating that I'd been "dumped" by Sony BMG. As you know, this is completely untrue. My recording contract with the company has simply expired".She says the Mirror misinterpreted her blog where she was expressing dissatisfaction with South African branch of the company. "They obviously have been reading my blogs, but have completely misinterpreted and misreported what I've written," she writes. "I was referring to being totally let down by the South African branch of Sony BMG who completely disappeared, when I came to perform for the 46664 campaign in Johannesburg".
She added that she actually had nice things to say about parts of the company in the same blog. "I complimented the Norwegian company, who were absolutely great...as were the representatives from Italy and France. I had a meeting with Ged Doherty, the head of UK Sony BMG this afternoon, who was absolutely mortified by the piece. The paper will be publishing a retraction tomorrow".
Doherty concurred Lennox's statement. "We are immensely proud to have worked with Annie over more than 2 decades," he said. "She now has a choice as to whether she wants to continue to work with us in the future. We very much hope that she will."
Annie's contract with Sony-BMG expired in October 2007 with the release of her latest album 'Songs of Mass Destruction'.
