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."
