But his masculinity framed an urgent sensitivity: He had his mom's, sister's and two half-sisters' first initials tattooed in Gothic letters on his wrist. He gave off the air of being willing to punch someone, but only if it would mask his own pain.

(Its sister publishing business, which licenses the use of tracks from a bulging back catalogue, is still a massive money-spinner.) Lacklustre sales from artists like the British singer Robbie Williams meant revenues tumbled 16% in the year to last April to $3.4 billion.
