After a tussle with music company T-series, Sonu Nigam
hastily announced his retirement that left his ardent fans shocked and
worried and expressed his displeasure over some contractual issues. Sonu
did not stop at just this but requested the people to take up the issue
and support his cause as they have supported the concerns of the LGBT
community. While we get to the bottom of the problem, here are some of Sonu's tweets for you...
Just about to go on stage in Singapore, so can't talk... but it's not my decision. Its a collective decision of the fraternity to abstain from illegal and feudal like contracts. Rest later...
All of us used to sign until we were made aware about the illegality of the contracts. If I show u a sample of the contract they make composers, lyrics writers and singers sign, you'll faint. We can all end up in the jail in the future. They r lucky that the press hasn't gotten into the depth of the matter. It's feudal, humiliating and illegal,and can only end up in tedious and deliberate court cases for nuisance value. Who wants to get into it.?
I'd rather sit at home and do Yoga than get into this mess. Shekhar ji is a good man, and understands our compulsions. I've asked him to get my voice dubbed by anyone who agrees to sign this... I'm sure the music will speak for itself.
So actually I think it is time for me to announce my retirement from film music.
Rape is crime..of course. So we talk about it. So verbally abusing Shreya Ghoshal's manager (maa behen ki gaaliyaan) isn't? 4 not signing!
What we are asking for. .is already given to us by the constitution. They r merely trying to take it away through fractured contracts.
My parents didn't give birth 2 me, 2 be subservient to a music company just because I can sing.
You have to hear my song in Heartless. .. it's the soul of the film. Shame that Shekhar ji has to suffer bcuz of all this.
Anybody can be a musician tomorrow. A journalists' child too. Our Stand is only to safeguard the future musicians.
