Adele lands whopping £90m [$130m] record deal... the biggest EVER handed to a British musician
The 28-year-old Skyfall singer’s Sony Music contract tops the £80 million EMI paid Robbie Williams in 2002.
It is also the most valuable for a woman, eclipsing Whitney Houston’s £70 million [$101m] from Arista in 2001.
Last night a source at Sony said: “We’ve secured Adele, who’s *without doubt the biggest music star in a generation. This is massive.”
A source at Sony said last night: “We have secured the biggest music star in a generation. This is massive.
“Adele’s deal with her original label XL expired and we’d an existing relationship with her in America.
“The deal is being worked on by our Columbia label in the US, but is worth £90million and gives Sony the rights to release her future music exclusively around the world.”
Adele’s deal was negotiated by her manager Jonathan Dickins.
The music source said: “Jonathan’s been putting it together for a couple of years. He was very aware of her worth in the market and stood firm to push for the £90million.”
