He is also on the board of Clear Channel Communications,〔Peter Lattman, ("Live Nation’s Azoff Joins Clear Channel’s Board" ), ''New York Times'', October 1, 2010〕 Starz Inc., and IMG.〔Andy Fixmer, ("Live Nation Chairman Azoff Said to Exit Concert Company" ), ''Bloomberg'', December 31, 2012〕

==Biography==
Azoff began promoting and booking bands while a student at Danville High School (Illinois) and then in college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He moved to Los Angeles in 1970 with his first client, Dan Fogelberg. He worked for Geffen Roberts management and there began working with the Eagles, a relationship that has lasted more than 40 years. During his career he has worked as an agent, personal manager, concert promoter, movie producer, independent record label owner, merchandiser, music publisher, and CEO of a record company.
From 1983 to 1989, Azoff was chairman of MCA Records and is credited for turning around that label's fortunes.〔E. Scott Reckard, ("AZOFF QUITS AS CHAIRMAN OF MCA'S MUSIC UNIT" ), ''AP News Archive'', September 5, 1989〕
According to Thomas R. King's book, ''The Operator'' (2001), Geffen manipulated Azoff into leaving MCA and going to Warner Music Group, where Azoff started Giant Records. King writes that Geffen wanted Azoff out at MCA to clear the way for MCA to buy Geffen Records.〔See generally Tom King, ''The Operator: David Geffen Builds, Buys, and Sells the New Hollywood'', p. 449-450, Broadway Books (New York 2001).〕 So Geffen convinced Mo Ostin at Warner Music to offer Irving Azoff a "dream" label deal. Giant Records operated for much of the 1990s until Azoff decided to return to concentrating on artist management.
Azoff co-produced the movies ''Fast Times at Ridgemont High'', ''Urban Cowboy'', ''Jack Frost (1998 film)'', ''Above The Rim'', and ''The Inkwell'', and was executive producer of ''The Hurricane''.〔("Moviefone Filmography" )〕 He has been named "Manager of the Year" by two touring industry's trade publications. In 2012, Azoff appeared in ''Artifact'', a documentary film about the modern music business focused on the legal battle between Thirty Seconds to Mars and record label EMI.
