Morrissey is set to launch his much talked about biography with a signing in Sweden today (October 17).
In order to commemorate the release of his memoirs the former Smiths singer will be visiting Akademibokhandeln Nordstan in Gothenburg to sign copies. According to The Smiths fan site 'True To You' 'no other book signings are planned'.
'Morrissey: Autobiography' has seen a series of delays prior to its release today, due to 'content disputes' between publisher Penguin and the singer. The book was originally due to land on 16 September but a statement just three days before release stated Penguin would no longer be associated with the memoirs. However Penguin later responded stating that they would retain rights to the book in Europe and the UK but not in the US.
In a 2011 interview a spokesperson for Penguin stated that Morrissey's biography was a classic in the making. During another interview Morrisey stated that he wanted it to be released as part of the publisher 'Classics' series despite it being a new book - resulting in the cover above.
This year Morrisey has stayed out of the limelight and cancelled shows due to the ill health of his mother.
