We reported to you yesterday that Shakira was in talks to sign a big bucks deal with concert promoter Live Nation. Today the chisme was confirmed!! After being part of the Sony familia since she was thirteen, Shakira is ending her contract and picking up a new one with Live Nation.
No hay duda que Shakira's got game. She signed a deal that's reminiscent of the ones signed by U2, Jay-Z and Madonna (no wonder Hard Candy got about 4 minutes of fame -- Madge was hot to drop that album as her last commitment to Warner Bros. so she could move on to her Live Nation gig). As part of the new deal, Live Nation will own the rights to Shakira's future recordings, concert tours, merchandise, sponsorship and digital promotion.
Espérate, not so fast Shaki! Word is the caderas queen has two more albums left to deliver on her Sony BMG contract -- one in English and one in Spanish as well as a greatest hits compilation. [d.baron media relations inc and Yahoo! News]
