Product Information

Steven Patrick Morrissey was born in Manchester on May 22nd 1959. Singer-songwriter and co-founder of the Smiths (1982-1987), Morrissey has been a solo artist for twenty-six years, during which time he has had three number 1 albums in England in three different decades. Achieving eleven Top 10 albums (plus nine with the Smiths), his songs have been recorded by David Bowie, Nancy Sinatra, Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde, Thelma Houston, My Chemical Romance and Christy Moore, amongst others. An animal protectionist, in 2006 Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British icon by viewers of the BBC, losing out to Sir David Attenborough. In 2007 Morrissey was voted the greatest northern male, past or present, in a nationwide newspaper poll. In 2012, Morrissey was awarded the Keys to the City of Tel-Aviv. It has been said 'Most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status that Morrissey has reached in his lifetime.' 'Brilliant, breathtaking, vital, lyrical and poetic.' Observer 'He is so devastatingly articulate he could win the Booker . . . the kind of burnished prose no other singer on the planet could aspire to.' Guardian 'A book to be thankful for . . . a work of genuine literary class.' Independent 'A rich and substantial work, the figure emerging at its centre both compelling and complex.' The Times Literary Supplement 'Anyone who feels the poetry of Morrissey's lyrics should welter in his astonishingly well-written prose. His evocation of post-war Manchester - a chilling blend of social realism and the Gothic - is a triumph.' Times Higher Education

  • My hero

    Mozza writes like he sings. With poetic lyrical prose. Pointed, bitter, angry, funny, self assured. He paints a world weary picture of working class no hopes done good. Done VERY good.

  • A must read for anyone interested in the 80s most influential bands

    An Amazing read for anyone who was a fan of the early smiths years in 1982. The definitive true account of the trials and tribulations of Morrisey's early life growing up in post industrial Manchester. The detail of Morrisey's word Smith articulation is simply poetic. John betjamin would have been awe. Love him or hate him Morrisey is a true modern day legendary icon writer poet and song writing legend quaint essential post punk nostalgia but very much modern and contemporary writings of Thatchers written off generation.

  • Damaged

    When it arrived it was clearly well used, loved should we say, but the front cover was bent, pages dirty and spice cracked. Not impressed.
