Retraction To An Earlier Hedley Article

By David Farrell

Earlier this week FYI Music News published an article containing possibly libellous words about two individuals suspected to have been behind a conspiracy regarding allegations against the band Hedley.

We apologize for not fact checking beforehand and will do better moving forward.
