Morrissey

For three decades Morrissey has written some of the most moving and powerful music the world has ever listened and wept to. From 1982 and the birth of The Smiths to his solo work of today, his unique blend of kitchen-sink grit, loved-and-lost tragedy, political poetry and working-class camp have earned him a place firmly in the history books and in every discerning music lover's record collection.

With influences as diverse as feminists, poets, film stars and soap operas, Morrissey merges highbrow and lowbrow with deft precision for maximum impact. Some call him "the Alan Bennett of Pop", others "the Pope of Mope". He's even been called the "Sage of Salford". We like to call him Morrissey.
