It’s all the rage these days; cashing in on your music!
Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac, did that need explaining?) has become the latest musician to sell his share to the rights of his own music.
Last year, Bob Dylan sold his rights to his entire song catalog. Blondie, Rick James, Barry Manilow, and Neil Young have all recently sold some or all of their stake in their own music.
Both Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac have sold majority shares in their music rights too. It’s huge business – the artists will have no say in how their songs are used.
So how much did Mick Fleetwood get in this deal? The terms have not been released, but Stevie Nicks’ deal was reportedly worth $100 million!
