Britain's most articulate singer - songwriter remains a complex individual whose lyrics are concerned with realism, opinion, waspish wit, irony, asexuality, melancholy and love. In this candid biography, Morrissey's friends and members of his entourage speak frankly to David Bret to reveal a fascinating portrait of the iconic star.
Bret's fully up-to-date biography is packed with revelations; accusations of racism and fascism; confessions of physical abuse; High Court royalty battles and the public shaming; the attack on Cliff Richard; renegade fans' attempts to sabotage his career. Placed upon a pedestal and worshipped; alternately derided and attacked by detractors, Morrissey is perhaps the only English entertainer to have successfully created his own culture, a personal world filled with foibles, likes and dislikes, and above all unsuppressable opinion; a world which David Bret describes with vivid candour that provides a comprehensive insight into the singer-songwriter's life and music as well as an ideal introduction for new fans of his work.
The book includes a full discography, numerous original photos and a comprehensive bibliography.
