Singer Annie Lennox has been dropped by her record label -- in what she's called a shocking snub and a "kick in the teeth". The "No More I Love You's" star, 53, was left shocked when her label, Sony BMG suddenly began ignoring her weeks before her contract was due to expire.
The former Eurythmics singer - one of the most successful female artists ever - has been hit hard by the shabby treatment. She said: "They totally ignored me. It was bizarre, a kick in the teeth.
"They didn't even pick up phone calls or emails for three weeks. I'm trying to find out what's behind it. Probably a good thing that I'm no longer with them - mild understatement. Unless it's them trying to tell me something Hello!"
Annie - whose last album reached number in the UK chart last October, added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It feels like I'm spent, as if I've completely run out of energy. I'm now out of contract with Sony BMG.
"I'm going to take my time over the coming months to figure out what to do with this freedom."
One of her plans is a clear-out and charity sale of possessions on eBay. Annie said: "It'll be a great big jumble sale."
