Linkin Park wants out of Warner IPO -- UPDATED

By at 11:18 am Tuesday, May 3

Linkin Park is looking to float an IPO, but only if it can get out of its deal with Warner Linkin Park wants out of Warner before the label has its IPO: it's not longer interested in being tied to a label, and intends to release its music strictly over the Internet from now on.
The band claims it has been responsible for ten percent of the label's record sales over the past five years. Linkin Park owes Warner Music four more albums, but the band says they're looking into releasing music over the Internet and it does not plan to deliver a new album to Warner.
