Well, here's some heartening news for the festive season, that Mark Morrison album that appeared at the top of your Christmas list will be released after all. Phew.
As previously reported, footballer Kevin Campbell, whose record label 2 Wikid Records signed Morrison and funded the recording of the new long player, went to court after he heard the former R&B star planned to release the album via a different record label. He initially won an injunction banning record label Mona and distributors Jet Star from releasing the album this month. But yesterday the high court overturned that decision meaning the new album, which was already being advertised on TV, can now be legally sold.
Welcoming the court's decision, Morrison told reporters yesterday: "The album will now be available to all". Campbell, who was already mighty pissed off by Morrison's actions, says he may now sue the singer and his new record label for breach of copyright when the new album, 'Innocent Man', is released next week.
