Morrissey Reveals Plans To Write Autobiography Add to My Fav Bands List

Morrissey has revealed he plans to write an autobiography about his career in the music industry.

In an interview with Janice Long, the former Smiths star said hoped the book would correct the “silly” stories that have been written about him.

“So much crap is written about you, me, and it's quite hard to live with sometimes because it all gets burned down in history and becomes a part of your, whatever it is you are, the legacy,” he said.

Morrissey said he found that “very annoying.”

Long then asked the singer if he was alluding to a recent interview with the NME, which the singer claimed afterwards had characterised him as a racist.

Morrissey replied: “Well, many, many things. But with every printed interview there's lots of mis-quotes and lots of them are really silly and really extreme and you have to live with them for the rest of your life.

“So, it's setting the record straight, and things like that.”

In what was a wide ranging interview on BBC Radio 2, Morrissey also spoke about his new album 'Year of Refusal'.

“It's fantastically strong. It's very, very strong and it's interesting for me after all these years, but it's the strongest,” he said.

The album is due out next February.
