evidently he dumped the us outlets earlier this year; now he'll concentrate on commercial space travel:

Makes sense as people are now buying more CDs and DVDs online and the reason why he made them change their name is so that he's not associated with it when it all goes down the tubes.

I really liked the Virgin Record stores when I was overseas. Hopefully the new owners can make a go of it.
I think it is rather sad that all these record/cd shops are closing.
