Morrissey claims release of new album ‘gagged’ over song about 2017 Manchester bombing
Singer says that every major label in London has refused to release Bonfire of Teenagers as a result of ‘Idiot Culture’
Morrissey has claimed that the release of his 14th solo album, Bonfire of Teenagers, has been “gagged” owing to the subject of its title track, the 2017 terrorist attack on an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester that killed 22 people. But, in this sad country of ours, to understand the full meaning of the attack is to be guilty, and this is why the ‘don’t look back in anger’ command always struck me as derisive and not at all words of social harmony.” Bonfire of Teenagers was completed in May 2021 and features Iggy Pop, Miley Cyrus and Chad Smith and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and was produced by Andrew Watt (Rolling Stones).
