La Roux has revealed that she has 'never made any money' from music despite apparently selling eight million records.
Elly Jackson told Digital Spy that she has never made any money from record sales but has made all her money from video and radio play. “There’s something not right about that,” the singer said. "All the money I've had up until now is from radio. I think people find this really, really, really hard to believe. It's not a lie, it's just the way it is"
Speaking about the financial fear gripping the industry, she defends her decision to speak out. "I don't think we should all be like the '80s and have 20 cars, be millionaires and be like George Michael or anything like that, but there's a happy medium that, at the moment, isn't being met."
