    The Rolling Stones have ditched one major for another after signing a long term deal with Universal.

    The announcements means the band have finally severed their 30 year ties with EMI after that deal ran out at the end of March.

    In a statement the band said: "Universal are forward thinking, creative and hands-on music people. We really look forward to working with them."

    The Rolling Stones have already released one record through Universal, a live album which came out in March.
