Morrissey’s influence and music legacy is irrefutable. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in British pop, as well as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, Morrissey has thirteen solo studio albums, a string of No.1 records, and an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

As lead singer of The Smiths he marked forever the history of music with only four albums. As a soloist he has consolidated a sound that still reverberates today with his forthcoming album Bonfire of Teenagers. An explicit declaration of love for music has made him one of the most acclaimed voices of the last four decades worldwide. When the debut single from The Smiths, “Hand In Glove,” first emerged 40 years ago, the musical landscape was forever changed and launched a rich catalogue of songs that includes anthems such as “This Charming Man,” “How Soon Is Now?,” “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,” “Suedehead,” “Everyday Is Like Sunday,” “Irish Blood, English Heart,” “First of the Gang to Die,” and many many more. The celebration of Morrisey’s music and influence on culture have resonated with fans worldwide for over 40 years.

Morrissey’s Autobiography published in 2013 by Penguin Classics spent six weeks at the number 1 sales spot, plus five weeks at number 2. It was the second fastest-selling autobiography in British history. His first two nights at the Hollywood Bowl broke the Beatles record for sell-out speed. In 2006, Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British icon by viewers of the BBC, coming second to Sir David Attenborough, with Sir Paul McCartney in third place. In 2007, Morrissey was voted the greatest living northern male in the Manchester Evening News. Morrissey has had 24 top ten albums in England: nine with The Smiths, fifteen as a solo artist. His California Son (released 2019) reached number 7 on the U.S. Billboard chart, and his Low In High School (released 2017) reached number 10 on the U.S. Billboard chart. Morrissey has had seven top 20 albums in the U.S.A.

wow the haters are out in force today,they are all here,even the ones who hardly ever post,this will be the same if he gets a contract,this will be the same when the albums released.
 
Other... And they go...... If only they knew what the word pete means in my country... the man's name is Pete. is a vulgar word in Argentina and means to practice oral sex
 
The horrible pants, in addition to the fact that they don't fit him, bring him bad luck... They attract bad vibes. With a renovation ? Well, you should throw them away. Think about it, Mozy

The mention of WME(agency) is interesting as he signed with them in 2011.
If 'published by Warner Chappell Music' is current and accurate, that bodes well for global releases of new/old albums.
FWD.
 
I couldn't care less about Boz coming back. He's been there long enough.
Think a manager can push for a new band? I sure would hope so as Morrissey needs one (aside from Brendan who is clearly a hired hand). I really hope this Galli guy has a talk with Moz about it. It's a change he desperately needs.
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news… 😬
Darrin, I've been wondering, is there any chance that when Alain left Morrissey's band because of differences with "management" do you think that means "band management" and not Morrissey's tour/career manager (the Donnie dude or whoever)? In other words did Alain have differences with Jesse as he is the musical director (band Manager) and that's why he left? Cheers.
 
Why does this guy look familiar to me? Has he been on a reality TV show or something? Anyone else get that vibe. This is now annoying me.

Mirrissey was advised to rest for 2 weeks, and these weeks have now passed ;)
But you’re right, we shouldn’t expect anything to come out of this relationship too soon.
My hope is that this guy will facilitate the release of BOT or WMTWD., that he will do the hard work of dealing with record companies and convincing Morrissey to change a few things here or there. Until then, probably no more touring.

Hope Pete advises M to take 24 off, release BoT, then major city tour Without Music in 25.
 
we can assume that his position as manager is fairly new. But most likely something that was in the works before or just prior to M canceling due to exhaustion. Though maybe this recent incident was the last straw that even for Morrissey he knew it was time to get a proper manager. Though I think we’ll need to give Pete a little more time before we see any positive outcomes due to this business relationship.

:pray:
Yeah, it was of course tongue in cheek. But so much time has passed already, that could have been used productively, its just so frustrating and I know that's part of the deal of being a fan of Morrissey and we all will be here tomorrow. Things take time, but the new manager really should get things going now and if he is a professional, I think he is able to do that. But then of course there's the M factor to consider, what he wants and how much control he is going to give away. But judging on how much control he seemingly already has given away with obviously incompetent staff, it shouldn't be that hard. It really would be great to have some exciting news or even news at all to discuss, that's what we all are here for. There is hope, that, as you said, there was a change of heart in Morrissey's regard and he understood that something had to be done for his own sake. But at the end, it's Morrissey, so we never know, I really hope and wish these news are not another non-starter.
