Lately, Vini has gone through a rough period, culminating the death of his mother. Factory collapsed, he owed the Inland Revenue lots of money, he had no manager, no accountant. He lost his home, he lost everything. At the nadir, he was about to take his guitar down to sell it to get some money when Carol, his partner, said 'why not use it to record'. Buying instead, a portastudio, Vini ensconced himself in a cellar and came up with his new album.
In December 2007 Morrissey made a donation to Salford Lads Club.

This is the official Twitter site for The Durutti Column:Has anyone stopped to think that could all be a scam from someone claiming to know vinni
No, I'm just a long-term fan.Are you someone that knows Vinni, dlgladwin?
I was wondering if he has thought about giving private lessons. Surely that would be an easy fix?
If Vini could give lessons he could play, which would solve the cash problem.
Do you really need to be able to play all that well to teach? Even if you do, I bet he could still easily attract students. Just an idea anyway.
Pity he can't get his hands on all those 'Viva Hate' royalties. Cos he did co-write all of it of course....
Stupid people, so centered on Morrissey's belly button that you have to hate someone not approved by Him. Without even get to acknowledge the situation.
Have you also seen what's happening to Lawrence from Felt? Don't judge! Try to understand and show empathy.
£1200 for rent,must be a nice pad,sorry this reeks of complete desperation,if he has had a stroke,well im sorry to hear that,but there are much worse off people in this world,doesnt he have family,or our so wonderful goverment might help,as they help out the scumbag junkies on free methadone,i also find it hard to beleive moz would lower his standards to go on farcebook and twatter.
I wouldn't be bending over backwards if Jesse Tobias or Boz was hurting for cash, either.
Times are rough for everyone. No one person can show empathy for everyone, why should Vini Reilly stand out just because we've heard his name before? I'd personally rather donate to someone who never saw royalties from music sales.
Incidentally, what's happening with Lawrence?
