MORRISSEY SCANDAL AND PASSION by David Bret
Britain's most articulate singer-songwriter remains a complex individual whose lyrics opt for realism, opinion, waspish wit, irony, asexuality, melancholy and love. In this candid biography, Morrissey's friends and the members of his entourage speak frankly to David Brett to produce a fascinating study of the iconic star. It is packed with revelations; accusations of racism and fascism; confessions of physical abuse; suggestive, anarchic, witty, sexy, and never before seen letters to a penpal that read like Joe Orton; Morrissey's gay-bashing; the accusations of supporting paedophilia; High Court royalty battles and the public shaming; the attack on Cliff Richard; renegade fans' attempts to sabotage his career; his script submission to 'Coronation Street'. The book includes a full discography, numerous original photos, and a comprehensive bibliography.
French-born David Bret is one of Britain's leading show business biographers. His previous books include biographies of subjects as diverse as Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, George Formby and Elvis Presley. His study of Rock Hudson will be published by Robson Books in summer 2004 (1861055579).
