Oh Dear looks like the bubble has burst for Gareth Gates, But at least he has 2years of fame. lolQuote from Digital Spy
Simon Cowell's recording label BMG has axed Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates, The Sun reports today.
The 19-year-old - who finished second in the 2002 competition - has had a series of disappointing singles since enjoying an initial chart success with the likes of 'Unchained Melody' and 'Suspicious Mind' two years ago.
The crunch was said to come after a "disappointing" performance at the Royal Albert Hall on April 19.
“It has finally happened. Gareth’s time at BMG records has come to an end," an insider told the newspaper. “He’s a lovely chap with great resilience but he simply doesn’t sell records any more.
"There were initial meetings two months ago saying he was to be canned but the final decision didn’t come until very recently. To be honest, there were a few big players who saw Gareth at the Royal Albert Hall a few weeks ago and they weren’t very impressed.
“It’s the end of an era in pop. There’s no doubt that just a couple of years ago Gareth was the biggest pop star in Britain.”
