Ella Henderson and SYCO parted ways. Harry Styles won a BRIT Award for British Artist Video Of The Year.
SONY GIVE ELLA ELBOW Ella Henderson dropped from record label Syco four years after the release of debut album Chapter One
The former X Factor contestant scored a big hit with her debut album Chapter One, but the follow-up suffered continuous delays
ELLA HENDERSON has been dropped by Syco, I can reveal.
The X Factor contestant, who finished sixth in 2012, was tipped for great things after her debut single Ghost shot straight to No1.
The track sold more than 1.2million units here and more than a million in the US, while her debut album Chapter One went platinum. But four years on, the party is over.
A spokesman for the record label confirmed Ella’s exit, saying: “Syco and Ella Henderson are parting company.
“We wish Ella all the best for the future and thank her for her hugely successful contribution over the years.”
My sources say bosses lost faith in Ella as her follow-up album hit delay after delay.
