MORRISSEY

Morrissey’s musical legacy is irrefutable. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in British pop, as well as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, Morrissey has released 13 solo studio albums, an impressive string of No. 1 records, and an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

As co-founder and lead singer of The Smiths, he forever altered the history of music within the span of only four albums. As a soloist, he has minted a sound that still reverberates today on stage and on record, with his forthcoming album, Make-Up Is a Lie, an explicit declaration of love for unvarnished truth and expression, cementing his status as one of the most acclaimed and potent voices of the last four decades.

After The Smiths’ debut single, “Hand In Glove,” hit the airwaves in 1983, the musical landscape would never be the same, with Morrissey at the helm of a rich catalog of songs that includes such indelible anthems as “This Charming Man,” “How Soon Is Now?,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “Suedehead,” “Everyday Is Like Sunday,” “Irish Blood, English Heart,” “First of the Gang to Die,” and many, many more. His current tour celebrates a songbook that has been resonating with fans around the world for 40-plus years.
