After more then 26 years U2 are splitting with their record label, Island Records.The band is set to join Mercury Records where they'll be re-united with managing director Jason Iley, who used to work with the band when he was a general manager with Island.
U2 have frequently said they owe their career to Island and that its founding boss, Chris Blackwell, was instrumental to their career.
But it is said that the band has decided to leave Island because they were fed up with the Island Records' senior management's "hands-off" approach towards them.
Both Island Records and Mercury Records are owned by the Universal Music Group.
