10 huge artists who got dropped by their record labels
Featuring Morrissey, Katy Perry + more
Morrissey: As it was revealed via the singer's official fan-site, Morrissey has reportedly been dropped by Harvest Records just three weeks after the release of new album World Peace Is None Of Your Business. Mozza is yet to comment on the rumours, but we're sure he'll come out with something suitably witty and barbed pretty soon.
This morning we reported that Morrissey has been allegedly dropped from his label Harvest Records, just weeks after the release of his latest album World Peace Is None Of Your Business.
Despite this somewhat unexpected news, huge artists getting the can from major labels is anything but an impossibility in the music industry, with countless acts getting dropped at various points in their career for better or worse.
Usually an act is dropped when it is believed they are no longer viable for the record company, but what happens when that artist goes on to become a global superstar?
Well, here are 8 huge artists who have all been dropped by major labels.
