By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 31 July 2009
Talking of Universal, the major’s Geffen division has done a deal with, erm, The Pope. Yes, Pope Benedict XVI, now a label mate of Snoop Dogg, Guns N Roses, Ashlee Simpson and Nirvana, will release an album in which he sings and recites prayers to the Virgin Mary. The album is the result of a deal done by an Italian Catholic media group called Multimedia San Paolo and all profits will go to fund music education for underprivileged children around the world.
