Apparently Morrissey has done an interview with the NME!

Moz will also be put on the front cover, the first time since the "Flying the flag or flirting with disaster" debate.

  • Moz is desperate for his new album to be a success and what better way to ensure that it is than a favourable review in the NME coupled with the huge amount of press the burying of the hatchet will receive, he may get criticised for selling out but I think its time to move on it was all a long time ago.

      • Remember that the editor (Steve Sutherland) who seems to have been the main force behind all the 'Morrissey-bashing' is no longer part of the NME, and also that other people working for the paper around that time have said that they never had anything against Morrissey or believed in the rumours about racism, but 'had' to go along with their editor.

        That person is no longer part of the NME, they've clearly tried to make peace with Morrissey with making a Smiths-special last year and it's good publicity...there's many things speaking for this being true.

  • This is good news.The NME should now rectify ‘This Alarming Man’ article and bring a lot of publicity for Quarry.

  • Moz also appeared on the cover of the NME back in 1994, at the time of Vauxhall (without an itw).
    Nothing like the 1980s when NME stood for 'New Morrissey Edition'.
    But, does anybody truly read the NME today anyway?

    NO MORE LOOKS! NO MORE WORDS! (no more manifestos)
  • Morrissey has indeed agreed to be inteviewed for the NME, but not by any of the NME staff. He insisted on being allowed to chhose the interviewer. One potential candidate is Alex Kapranos, lead singer of Franz Ferdinand.

  • NME obviously sells so few copies these days that Moz has deemed it as obscure as Index or Tokion and can therefore be granted an interview.

    Ha ha ha!

  • Morrissey was on the cover for the "Mozmania" issue in 1994. They had an article attacking him all over again a few weeks later though.

  • I remember buying and reading a broadsheet UK music magazine with Morrissey on the cover c. Maladjusted. There was no interview but a several-page opinion piece reviewing his career very favourably, and a separate review of the album by a different person giving it a 7/10, good-to-middling type of rating.

    I always thought this was the NME but maybe it was the late Melody Maker.
