Guy Hands wants to save the music business - but his slash-and-burn plans are anathema to the pampered rock stars who are threatening to quit his EMI record label. Adam Sweeting and Juliette Garside hear his defence. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the new owner reiterates the point: "About a third of the artists who sign with EMI never make an album," he says. "We're going to drop a fair number of them. You've got to get them to a level where you can provide a super service." (The Independent)
