Madonna - Live Nation

This has been in the works for awhile, but Coolfer links today to a UK Sunday Mirror piece about Madonna signing a deal with LiveNation for mongo dollars! This is pretty amazing, methinks, but not surprising, as the bulk of artist dollars are now coming from live appearances, mersh and more, so a linkup with live bookers may become more the norm.

Reuters wrote last month..."Most of the focus centers on a deal said to be in the works with tour promoter Live Nation that would encompass recorded music, touring, merchandising and other business concerns."
