Beyonce Withdraws Deluxe Album

Beyonce Knowles has withdrawn the deluxe edition of her latest album after British singer Des�ree launched a lawsuit.

As previously reported, the singer launched a lawsuit in the US last week.

Des�ree, who wrote classic lyrics such as �I�m afraid of the dark/ Especially when I�m in a park�,  claims that Beyonce never obtained proper clearance to use her song �Kissing You� , and ignored copyright rules when she recorded the track as Still In Love (Kissing You) for the deluxe edition.

As a result, MTV reports that Knowles' record label bosses have agreed to temporarily halt distribution of the CDs that include the track.

Des�ree claims in the suit that the terms her team gave to Knowles in order for her to re-record the song weren�t satisfactory so she reportedly ignored copyright law and recorded her own version.

Des'ree is apparently seeking $150,000 in damages.
