Verve Threaten To Withhold Next Album

The Verve have joined an increasing number of artists - including the like of Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Paul McCartney - in a protest against their record label EMI.

The newly reunited band is now threatening to withhold their next album until they receive assurances about the record label’s financial security.

The Verve were due to deliver their long-awaited follow-up to 1997’s 'Urban Hymns' in June. A question mark now looms over whether this release date still stands.
