In his hotly anticipated memoir, Autobiography , which was released by Penguin Classics earlier this week, the former Smiths frontman disclosed that he was in his mid-thirties before he entered his first serious relationship. Morrissey also discussed his teenage indifference to girls in the memoir.
In a interview with Rolling Stone , Morrissey explained that the gender ambiguity in the subjects of his song lyrics for the Smiths was intentional. There is nothing to probe for, nothing to dwell on or try and unravel. With the Smiths, nothing is ever open and shut. Newswire Powered by. I mean it's completely false, of course. The reporter pushed his luck perhaps too far with another question. Does that mean you have finally met that someone special you'd wait outside the shops for?
A wag once likened Morrissey's sweet sepulchral voice to that of Alan Bennett singing; and on the insufferable deathbed melodrama of Life Is A Pigsty, Morrissey does Bennett proud: "Even now in the final hour of my life," he sings, "I'm falling in love again.
Morrissey is no stranger to heroic hyperbole, of course. His dour mood that year was possibly not unrelated to losing the court case with Johnny Marr against their former Smiths colleagues Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke: not least when Judge John Weeks famously branded Morrissey "devious, truculent and unreliable".
Divine, trojan and unyielding perhaps - Morrissey, born May 22, , in Manchester to Irish parents, is one of the greatest wordsmiths to have emerged from England in the last 30 years.
Sexual ambiguity coupled with metaphysical imponderables has always been a part of Morrissey's image, of course. As far back to , The Smiths' second single This Charming Man featured Jean Cocteau's youthful lover, Jean Marais, gazing into an Orphean pool on its front cover - and Morrissey waxing lyrical about a rural romp:. And The Ringleader of the Tormentors should keep them happy as it is Morrissey at his best once more, after a bit of a lull. Some are pointing to the fact the album was recorded in Rome with Tony Visconti, the producer of David Bowie in his heyday, behind the console as the reason for Morrissey's renaissance, both artistic and sexual.
He appears to be living in Rome for the time being too. The Mediterranean atmosphere is obviously doing his libido a power of good. It's only stereotyping that says the two can't go together. That this is as good as life gets. Ergo:- the one who goes without is the most wanted. The Banker Guest. Jones Guest. I know people won't agree with me on this because they see Morrissey as a sexual person and don't want him to be alone but I wouldn't be surprised if he is still celibate most of the time.
The way he's been talking recently in interviews about it reminds me of how teenagers talk when they are trying to convince their mates they are more experienced than they are.
He tries to suggest there is someone but won't reveal any details about it. Maybe he's just embarrassed by the whole subject and thinks that is the best way of getting the journalists off his back about it.
The only reason I think he doesn't have much sex is the reason I've stated on here before. There is no way he could have kept it secret for so long. It's impossible with the way the media works these days. They would have found out something. Mimi Guest. What I find most surprising, considering the way the media works these days, is that there has never been somebody who sold their "YES!
I shagged the world's most famous celibate popstar! This doesn't imply that there never WAS somebody who could do that, because I for one don't believe that he doesn't or never did have sex. I guess it speaks for his instinct of chosing the right people to be with, as we've discussed somewhere else Codreanu Guest.
