Warner Music Group

Warner Music Group, controlled by American billionaire Leonard Blavatnik of Russian origin, was the most likely candidate to buy its rival EMI Music. If the deal goes through, will put an end to the nearly 15-year history of the merger of two giants of the recording industry.
After refusing to Vivendi SA to continue to participate in the struggle for the acquisition of EMI Music the most likely buyer of the asset became Warner Music, the sources said The Wall Street Journal. It is assumed that a deal could be announced as early as next week, and its amount will be in the range from 1 billion to $ 5 billion
