Madonna deal to last beyond 60

Madonna has signed a new record deal with Universal that could see her releasing albums past the age of 60.

The singer, 53, brings out a new album next year – her first since 2008's Hard Candy.

It will also be her first that is not on the Warner Brothers label, her home for nearly 30 years.

Madonna has agreed a three-album contract with Universal's Interscope Records.

She has made three albums in the past eight years, so at that rate could be more than 60 when the deal ends.
