Administrator Deloitte has announced plans to close 66 HMV stores over the next two months.
HMV said in an update on its Facebook page: “This decision has not been taken lightly and, though very sad and regrettable, it is necessary to give HMV the best possible chance of emerging from administration and having a future on the high street.
