The beginning of the end for Morrissey - announces touring retirement?
http://www.theguardian.com/music/201...ely-to-be-last
Moz has said this weekend's London shows are likely to be his last ever in the UK, due to no interest from record labels. He says there is no point in touring if he has no new material. Sad really, because he has a fantastic back catalogue both with the Smiths and as a solo artist that could surely generate enough interest to keep him touring for a while yet. Do you think he is just being melodramatic or has he decided it's time to start fading away? |

He's hardly fading away. He has his first novel out in a couple of weeks. He's about to start a European tour.
I really hope to see him again but if he does decide not to tour he definitely won't be disappearing. |

He's a multi millionaire. If he wanted to release new music surely he could finance and release it himself, there are multiple ways of doing so, what artist really needs a record label to do that these days? I just had a look at ticketmaster, plenty still seemingly available, maybe a boost to sales for the UK tour was needed?

The only reason we hear about Morrisey nowadays is because he continues to slag anyone and everyone off. Musically, he's been irrelevant for years.

I still can't forgive him for 'Kill Uncle'.

Have to say I was never a fan of Morrissey or the Smith.
Music dreary and depressing - Heaven knows I'm miserable now says it all really |

He can easily retire from touring and still pump out an album every 3-5 years if he is so inclined. It seems like one of those melodramatic Morrissey things that he'll go back on at some point anyway.
