Morrissey Reveals Novel Plans, Dismisses A Smiths Reunion

knack for shifting paperback and hardback copies doesn’t show any sign of letting up. After releasing ‘Autobiography’ through Penguin Classics last year, the former Smiths frontman confirmed in a Q&A with fans that he’s set to pen a novel.

Answering questions on de-facto website True to You, the handsome devil also compared eating meat to paedophilia and rape. ‘If I’m introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away,’ he’s stated.

Speaking about a potential novel, he’s labelled the plans a response to the fact that ‘labels won’t play my music’, because chart positions are ‘bought’ by major labels. ‘The majority of people have lost faith in the music industry,’ he claims, before also adding the little nugget that he’s recording a new album.

One of the tracks from his new LP is titled ‘Istanbul’. Release details are yet to be announced.
