The only star missing from the confirmed cast attending the upcoming red carpet premiere of MY POLICEMAN in London is HARRY STYLES. A coincidence he has a gig that wasn’t originally planned so he can't promote the film?

One Direction played 329 live shows in just under four years and their apperance fee rose from £20,000 to 100k for a private gig (The boys were paid nowhere near this). I remember this one clearly as management were furious I posted it online.

What amazed me recently was that Louis Tomlinson posed the question "Will radio stations play my songs again? I have no idea". So many creative artists are still being told what to do, but in the words of @Louis_Tomlinson Let's have "Faith in the future"

Lessons to be learnt from anyone enterting into any a new job, agreement, nda, clause, release, contract is to check if the deal works for you. Can you get out of it? and at what cost to you, or your mental health. Downfalls are inevitable but rewards can be high, so enjoy it.

Artists with their own record label for example are still tied into managers, publicists, affiliated press, booking agents who can control tours, workload, publicity, payments etc - so unless he can take a break and walk away and get a new team, then no, never.

@Alyssers_s @Louis_Tomlinson Radio play is a whole story altogether and not a subject I specialise in but I do know that PR / Managment DO influence in what stations play as each song played pays record label royalities!

So proud of @katiewaissel24 having seen countless articles with press finally picking up her misson to safeguard and introduce new much needed measures. The duty of care & welfare to all whether they are in or entering this industry will ensure all protection and fair treatment.

So " @LiveNation and @Ticketmaster look to enforce laws against touts and scalping websites", but what about the high service fees they charge real music fans who are sick of the stupid dynamic demand pricing model. When will venues, fans and artists get a fair deal??

Interesting one S CLUB 7. Watch how angry the management / assistant is when the stars are asked about 'How upset they were over what they got paid' They really got shafted after years of graft and millions of record sales #justice

Loved listening to this album over the past few weeks. "Rebecca Ferguson's Heaven Part II' album is a heartfelt musical odyssey filled with soulful melodies showcasing her personal journey". This is a "no-skip album that blew me away." 5 stars is a testament to the consistent

@katiewaissel24 @MCPS @PRSforMusic Thanks for sharing this clip, I remember it well. Clearly shows how artists are scammed by management/bosses. Must add, it does go the othe way too, some music artists being offered songs by other artists I've heard ask for a songwriting credit and split it then 50%.

Having watched the football last week, anyone feel the price of tickets and food at ALL live events is just too high? Also booking and delivery fees are a rip-too. How fan real fans enjoy gigs? Where does all the money go? #FanJustice

TikTok to Launch Creator Songwriting Platform With Simon Cowell Can't wait to read the terms & conditions. EG Who owns the music if it's uploaded (The creator or the platform) where could it be used without artist permission? Are royalities split 50/50?

Gutted I can't make the Brit Awards tonight though I have already cast my vote, and wish good luck to all the talent nominated! Excited my production team will be live from the #BRITs     red carpet chatting to the stars whilst I support two mystery celebs on The Masked Singer.

@aaood_niall They got better paid from 2012 onwards as Cowell gave them (One Direction) a 2M bonus but money was usually split before that. Harry bought his mum a new house that year.
