After two decades, it’s time to part ways
Blake Shelton dropped some bombshell news saying that he is parting ways with Warner Music Nashville after two decades. In a statement he said, “I moved to Nashville when I was 17 to sing country music and get a record deal. Along with the support from Warner, my dreams came true, and then some. It’s impossible to name everyone who has had a hand in all the success we enjoyed, but a huge and heartfelt thank you to the Giant Records, Warner Bros. Records and Warner Music Nashville staff and family.”
Warner Music Nashville also made a comment saying, “Working alongside Blake these past 23 years has been an honor and a privilege, together, we’ve celebrated a record number of hit songs, sold-out tours and award wins. Blake’s talent is undeniable, but that wit of his, and the countless moments of laughter he’s given us remind us how fun this business of music can be. While our time together has come to an end, we count ourselves amongst his biggest fans and are grateful for the ride with this true gentleman and icon.”
The reason for the split
The separation apparently didn’t come as a surprise, as a few key players that have worked with Blake over the years have left as well.
Blake’s going to be heading out on a new tour, and he’s also got a residency lined up in Las Vegas at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from February 5th to 15th.
