Leto denies 30STM axed management

A spokesperson for Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars has rejected rumours that the star has fired their management.

Reports yesterday suggested that Leto had axed the group's employers ahead of the release of their new album.

However, the band's representative has since branded the speculation "completely false".

They quoted Leto as saying: "As far as I'm concerned I have the best manager on the entire planet, the legendary Irving Azoff. We have been working together for three years and are having a blast. Together we have happily burned out many a blackberry keypad and even shut down a few servers. We [are] looking forward to celebrating the release of This Is War on December 8."

Azoff added: "We've only just begun to make 30 Seconds To Mars the icons they will inevitably become."

30 Seconds To Mars' third studio album This Is War is scheduled for release on December 7.
