Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson has hit out at music legend Clive Davis for ‘spreading false information’ about her in his new tell-all memoir. The 30-year-old star wrote a damming open letter today after the record executive claimed that she broke into ‘hysterical sobbing’ when he demanded that her smash hit ‘Since U Been Gone’ be included on her album, Breakaway.
