Cher is planning to sue Universal Music Group for over 4.5M USD.

The pop queen claims that the label engaged in wrongful tactics” and cheated her out of money from the sales of her Cher The Greatest Hits and The Very Best Of Cher.

Cher’s lawyer stated that Universal is playing a game of catch-me-if-you-can with one of the most popular and iconic artists of all time. Unfortunately, record companies have learned over the years that they can increase their bottom line by underreporting royalties to artists.

Universal’s spokesperson said: “The claims are meritless and we are confident that we will prevail in court.”

The Enemy have been added to the line up of the first of this year’s Orange RockCorps gigs at the Apollo in Manchester on 13th July 2009.

The indie rock three-piece will join Lady GaGa and N-Dubz alongside other star acts and DJ’s to give 3,000 volunteers in Manchester a night to remember.

In its second year, Orange RockCorps, has expanded its music-led volunteer programme, to give people in Manchester and London the chance to earn a money-can’t-buy ticket to an A-list gig in their home city in return for four hours voluntary work at community-based charity projects.
