The Rolling Stones 'not signing to Madonna and Jay-Z's label'

The Rolling Stones, whose contract with record label EMI expired in February this year, have denied that they are set to sign a multi-million pound record deal with concert promoter Live Nation.

Rumours that The Rolling Stones were set to sign with Live Nation � with whom the likes of Madonna and Jay-Z have lucrative contracts � were circulating on Sunday (June 15).

However, the band have since issued a statement denying they have had any contact with the company.

The statement read: "We are not in talks with Live Nation in connection with any record deal".
