Faith Hill Dumps Manager

In a surprise statement from Faith Hill and Gary Borman, the team announces they are splitting up after 16 successful years. Faith Hill and manager Gary Borman have confirmed that they are parting ways. Faith Hill has made no specific statements as to why the team is splitting up after 16 highly successful years. In a joint statement, they said the following: “We are so proud of what we have achieved together over the past 16 years. We love each other like a sister and a brother, but have made the difficult choice to dissolve our professional relationship.” Gary is currently also managing Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum however, so I would imagine his plate is already quite full. Perhaps with a new manager we will hear new music from Faith? Country Music Photo Gallery
