“I wouldn’t have even known what the Order of Canada was. I never wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a vet.


I studied Agriculture in the University of Manitoba, but never finished my degree as I went into music. But the decision to go into music was always at arm’s length. It was always, ‘I will continue on but on my terms.’

I never planned or knew what I was going to do, but I always knew what I didn’t want to do.”

Live Nation Reaches Settlement With DOJ In Antitrust Case, But Some States Will ‘Keep Fighting’

The deal would reportedly include some major structural changes, but would not require Live Nation to divest Ticketmaster.

Live Nation has reportedly reached a settlement with the Department of Justice to resolve federal antitrust accusations without selling Ticketmaster, but several state attorneys general are planning to move ahead with the case.

The settlement, first reported Monday by Politico, would require big concessions from Live Nation including opening Ticketmaster’s platform to rivals, limiting how it uses exclusive deals with venues, and selling several amphitheaters. Live Nation would also pay $200 million to 40 states involved in the case.
