Misrepresented rumor update

MISREPRESENTED, THE NEXT ACT: Remember our item about a superstar act whose discontent with management had led to meetings with other reps behind their current manager’s back? To recap: The existing manager got wind of it and sent tampering notices to the other suitors. The act began openly telling people at their label and pubco they were a “free agent,” while the manager denied this. Insiders say the situation has now been resolved, with the manager agreeing to a smaller commission and the status quo restored for the time being. Many observers were surprised the manager would agree to the reduced percentage, given the firm’s large roster of important acts. (6/19p)
