From Sanctuary Artist Management Contrary to any recent reports on the Web or otherwise. ---Morrissey will not be playing this festival. Lloyd writes:
I live in Portugal and I find it strange that at Jesus
Jones' website (a band that will be playing at the
Vilar de Mouros festival on the 29th of July)
Morrissey appears as performing on that same day,
after Peter Murphy. Do you know anything about this? I
find it highly unlikely, if not impossible, but i
thought it deserved some attention. I will pray for it
to be confirmed, nevertheless. ---
The website is www.jesusjones.com, you can find the info at the news section, under information. Excerpt: www.vilardemouros.com The bill is currently: Morrissey (tbc) Peter Murphy The Charlatans (tbc) Jesus Jones Cage Baby It's in northern Portugal, close to the Spanish border.

There is a really big picture of Morrissey in the Financial Times today Saturday, June 5th, page 9. The caption below the picture, which is related to an article on the potential sale of Sanctuary, reads "Sanctuary, which holds the rights for artists including Morrissey, has had cash-flow problems." Am I mistaken or didn't Morrissey say he is no longer under contract? ---I find the picture interesting because, other than the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times is one of the most widely read world news/business newspapers in the world. Its a great picture, too! Unfortunately, I don't think you can view the picture on line unless you have a subscription to the newspaper. charles byron also writes: The future of the firm, which is also the world's largest independent record label, has been the subject of intense speculation for some time and it is believed to have been approached by a number of private equity groups as well as major music labels over the past year... News of the approach comes as Sanctuary is locked in a tussle with one of its stars, the former Smiths frontman Morrissey. He recently berated the company for erroneously saying he would play at the Isle of Wight festival this summer, adding, on a fan website, that his contract with the company "ended last year and hasn't been renewed", and "there will be a new signing for the new album".

Morrissey was referred to on BBC 2's new satirical game show, Mock The Week, this evening. ---The celebrity contestants had to make a humourous comment on a news item. A British actor, Hugh Dennis, made his on hospitals and, to be precise, MRSA. He said something along the lines of the Tories thinking MRSA was the lead singer of The Smiths. It got quite a big laugh from the audience. Tonight's edition (the first of this new series) may be repeated at some point this week, so if you're in the UK, watch out for it to see the reference. An anonymous person also writes: I know i shouldnt admit to watching this programme.... BUT!! Did ANYONE ELSE out there hear sir MOZ on prime time tv, 9pm ITV , friday nite just gone!!
As i watched the horror that is CELEBRITY LOVE ISLAND !! they played THE WORLD IS FULL OF CRASHING BORES!! as the likes of Z-LIST celebs i.e ABI TITMUS and REBECCA LOOS lied there LAZY SUNBATHING!! It truly was a bizzare moment!!
