Morrissey Autobiography Confirmed For This Month

Staff Writer

His official fan-site announcing the date

More Morrissey Morrissey

Finally some kind of clarity in the never-ending debated surrounding the Morrissey's autobiography release, with his official fan-site announcing its Commonwealth mid-October release after a fan page posted an official Penguin Classic press release unveiling the date.

According to True To You, the offering - appropriately titled Autobiography – will be released on Thursday 17 October for fans in the UK, Europe and Commonwealth (meaning Australia, of course).

Morrissey has led a controversial life, the founding member of The Smiths who additionally maintained his own very successful 26-year solo career most recently angering fans by cancelling a massive US tour due to funding earlier this year.

There has been a cloud of doubt surrounding the autobiography and its actual existence, with skeptics still at large after the True To You announcement.

In the meantime, just listen to the man sing and hope the seemingly legit news is true!
