Morrissey to write autobiography




Former Smiths singer set to pen his memoirs

Morrissey has revealed that he is set to write his autobiography.

The former Smiths singer told Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 that the book would span his career in the music industry, although he did not reveal how far through writing it he was or when he hoped to release it.

"So much crap is written about me, it's hard to live with sometimes," he said. "It all gets burned down in history and becomes a part of your legacy."

Morrissey went on to claim that his forthcoming new album, 'Year Of Refusal', was his best album yet.

"It's fantastically strong," he said. "It's very, very strong and it's interesting for me after all these years, but it's the strongest."

The album is set to be released in February.

Didn't he say like three years ago that he was writing an autobiography in which he would clear up all the mystery of his past and the speculation surrounding his orientation? I guess it was a work in progress.

Oooh, getting excited for Years of Refusal!!

This makes me happy? I have tried to read the stuff published out there about him, but it all sounds like a giant loveletter and it's off putting.

The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

Can he top Johnny Rogan? Personally I like his books. Still, I'll read it. Twice. Bring it on!
