Annie Lennox Suffers Spinal Injury Aug. 25, 2008 – Annie Lennox is slowly on the mend after spinal surgery last week. The Eurythmics singer had yet another operation last week to fix an ongoing problem that kept the singer literally on one leg for months. Word from the Lennox camp say she’ll hae to undergo at least six months of intense physiotherapy to get back on her feet. Annie says, "I could only drag my leg around the house. Something told me urgent action was required. I had micro surgery on Friday morning. This is the fifth time I've gone under the scalpel and each time I think it's miraculous. I can now walk again slowly, without the drag, but it's going to take at least six months of physiotherapy before I start to walk more normally again." We wish her a fast recovery. – by John Beaudin

Lennox Loses Contract and It Gets Ugly January
17, 2008 - What the hell is happening in the music industry?
Up to 1/3 of EMI's staff could be let go including many
artists being dropped, half of the American Idol top guns
are without a label and now Annie
Lennox has been let go from Sony - and that parting is not pretty. Yesterday the former lead singer of Eurythmics said, "They
totally ignored me,. It was bizarre. It was a kick in the
teeth. They didn't return my phone calls or emails for three
weeks. I'm trying to find out what's behind it. Probably a
good thing I'm no longer with them - mild understatement."
Sony on the other hand calls it all "ludicrous."
In a statement Sony/BMG confirmed that the two have parted
ways but stated it hopes to work with her in the future and
would continue to work with Lennox on her current album. The
album "Songs of Mass Destruction" was released in
October and so far has sold 232,000 copies in the United States.
"We are immensely proud to have worked with Annie over
more than two decades," said Sony/BMG Music Entertainment
U.K. chairman Ged Doherty. "She now has a choice as to
whether she wants to continue to work with us in the future.
We very much hope that she will."
So far neither Lennox nor her management, 19 Entertainment
have reacted to the Sony/BMG statement. - by John
