4th October 2013 • No comments
If anyone is still keeping track, the Morrissey autobiography, titled Autobiography, which had been allegedly been pulled due to a “last minute content dispute,’ now has an official release date.
Interested parties can purchase Autobiography October 17 at a cost of £8.99 for all 480 pages and as of right now, there is no US publisher for the book.
Those familiar with Morrissey and his ‘quirks’ should probably know better than to get excited about the book until a copy of it is physically in your possession.
The press release from Penguin reads as follows:
Autobiography covers Morrissey’s life from his birth until the present day.
Steven Patrick Morrissey was born in Manchester on May 22nd 1959. Singer-songwriter and co-founder of the Smiths (1982-1987), Morrissey has been a solo artist for twenty-six years, during which time he has had three number 1 albums in England in three different decades.
Achieving eleven Top 10 albums (plus nine with the Smiths), his songs have been recorded by David Bowie, Nancy Sinatra, Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde, Thelma Houston, My Chemical Romance and Christy Moore, amongst others.
An animal protectionist, in 2006 Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British icon by viewers of the BBC, losing out to Sir David Attenborough. In 2007 Morrissey was voted the greatest northern male, past or present, in a nationwide newspaper poll. In 2012, Morrissey was awarded the Keys to the City of Tel-Aviv. It has been said ‘Most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status that Morrissey has reached in his lifetime.
