• Morrissey-solo: Morrissey is now being managed by Pete Galli of Red Light Management (February 12, 2024)

 

[Rufusindigo]

has he ever done that, for anything?

Not exactly an apology, but I'm sure there was some filmed interview where he admitted that previously he had been very closed minded about Europe, but then he realised he was wrong and changed his mind.

 

[Lujan369]

Jesus.!! How twisted all this is!! If someone wrote everything that happened so far, I'm sure that fiction wouldn't surpass reality! Twisted lattice, BASTA BASTA BASTA YA NO PODEMOS MAS !

 

[T. H. Auden]

- His mother

2012: no manager, but tour-manager Donnie Knutson to be addressed regarding the manager issue or the recording deal issue as per TTY post of 4th March 2012)

There is a light that never goes out: is a Smiths reunion genuinely impossible?

Relations between Morrissey and Johnny Marr seem at their lowest ebb following disagreements over trademarks and reissues. But fans will hold out hope nonetheless

Morrissey, you are invited to come by my home and snuggle with my kitty Blossom. Maybe it'll help a little. Kitty snuggles always help me when I'm sad.
Maybe this is good news though? I was just thinking, maybe he's got something up his sleeve...

 

[Les Tameside]

It looks like Galli was hired to do two things:
1) Get Moz a record contract and 'Bonfire of Teenagers'/Without Music The World Dies' released.
2) Get a Smiths reunion/reissue campaign off the ground.

Neither of those things has happened, so it's back to the drawing board.

Managers can’t ‘get’ record deals, or get reunions off the ground.

Where there’s money on the table, and a market to meet, they usefully negotiate the most favourable terms and also spend some of it, to the advantage of their clients. They don’t conjure up demand, and warmth, where there is none.

There’s no interest in Bonfire, and the liabilities which come with it. Marr doesn’t currently want to work with Morrissey.

Morrissey himself can begin turning things around by showing up for all of his forthcoming gigs. And there’s no chance of that.

Ive loved his music since the early 80s , seen him so many times and loved most and will stick with him until the end but its looking so bleak....Rock bottom is imminent...only saving grace at this point is relatively good sales for US Tour dates....after that....I think it's in Johnny's hands to save Mozs career through an unlikely Smiths reunion and subsequent revival through BOT/WOMTWD releases but as Johnny goes from strength to strength with ironically quite bland new music but huge record company support and goodwill why would he...so after all these years its Johnnys play for what looks like his only his way out and looking like ....check mate

No wonder Morrissey wrote a song about Israel. They are so much alike… behave atrociously to anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass yet still act like the greatest victim of all time.

 

[Mayfly]

Joe Moss, Jo Slee, Caryn Gough, Sandie Shaw, Geoff Travis, Tony Wilson, Johnny Marr, Craig Gannon, Grant Showbiz, Scott Piering, David Bowie, Stephen Street, Tony Visconti.......

just a few of the many, many people that our dear leader has fallen out with. They can't all be to blame.

His life is a procession of people saying goodbye.
Very sad.

 

[Mayfly]

Donnie?

Yep, he’s done tours before while being unsigned and without management. So it is still possible, at least if Morrissey is still in good health. And that is where I start to get really worried.

 

[SteveWS]

What's with all the picking on new fans? Unnecessary, at least...

We were all new fans once, and I speak with the authority of someone who saw Mozart live.
So, as Nietzsche famously said: "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it."

 

[brody]

Deal was got, but rejected by M last week, which realistically sets any release back a year. The upcoming tour was part of a bigger plan, which I assume will now not happen at all.

 

[T. H. Auden]

It was #1, not #2. Deal was got, but rejected by M last week, which realistically sets any release back a year. The upcoming tour was part of a bigger plan, which I assume will now not happen at all.

This is very interesting. The plot thickens...

For once, let's not all be pessimists. ;-) Something has to happen now and I don't mean the cancellation of the upcoming USA concerts. A concession on some level. I'm currently watching Live in Vegas 2024 and even though he's fighting his way through the setlist in his own rough way: at 65, he should be somewhere else artistically. Really.

 

[Anonymous]

In an ideal world, this would be the ideal time for Morrissey to send a private message to Johnny: 'Sorry for all the recent miscommunications - can you please give me a phone call so we can discuss how best to manage The Smiths together going forward'.

I doubt it will happen though.

 

[Lujan369]

Totally!! I am already very concerned about their integral health, physical and mental. Moz, we love you, don't make it harder! Speak and explain everything dear Moz, otherwise, people will think things I don't even want to name

 

[Southpaw80]

"Good evening Kensington or is it Islington, who knows? We've come to give you a sound thrashing!"

Just remembered this week was 22 years since the wondrous RAH gigs. Pre-Quarry and full of energy, expectation and genuine fervour. Hearing the unreleased Hector/IBEH/Mexico/I Like You.

How the f*** did it ever come to this?!

Seems so unfair, I want to cry ...

I had presumed maybe the proposed Smiths reunion/reissues were tied in some way to a prospective solo album deal, as it otherwise seemed so out of character for Morrissey to go back to Marr after so many ears of proclaiming how much happier he is without him?

Very interesting but any more insight why it was rejected and source of information?

Got back from seeing The The an hour ago. First part of the show was the new album, second part of the show was reserved for the greatest hits.
So yes, Morrissey could be in a different place artiistically.
