The Morrissey online zine True To You reported Monday that the singer was bit by a dog. And it doesn’t sound too pretty.
Information regarding Morrissey’s hand and arm injuries; Morrissey’s show at the London Palladium sold out in five minutes
11 July 2011
Morrissey sustained hand and arm injuries recently after being attacked by a dog in England. Morrissey has attended hospital in Malmo (Sweden) where x-rays reveal a fractured index finger on his right hand. The cracked bone is at the tip of the finger. The injury will not affect upcoming shows.
Morrissey is delighted with the news that tickets for the London Palladium sold out in five minutes.
Dog bites suck but this kind of punctuates his mild streak of bad luck. In an interview with Pitchfork last month, the out singer mentioned his new album is complete but he won’t record it without a label. And apparently they’re not calling him. Ouch.
• CBS reports that Madonna is officially in the studio recording her 12th album. This will be the follow-up to 2008’s God-awful Hard Candy. She’s working with producers David Guetta and A-Trak, according to Rolling Stone, but Idolator mentions a whole slew of names on the potential collab roster.
• As U.K.’s News of the World came to a screeching halt, George Michael publicly declared his elation over Rupert Murdoch’s questionable publication. Monday, the singer was on a Twitter rant that was both interesting and entertaining. Now he’s going to be asked about them, according to this tweet.
Could Michael have a new career as a media pundit? Monday’s tweets have been utter gold.
david guetta and a track are not true. she’s working with her brother in law joe henry and underground producer (that is: VERY underground, look it up) monsieur Adi.
Morrissey is not an “out” singer. He’s never officially declared. Get your facts str8 Rich.
Ummm Hard Candy was anything but terrible you wanna-be journalist. Went straight to no.1 in 41 countries! Was a clever and defiant album with some fantasic tracks that never seen the light of day. And finally, none of the producers mentioned by you have any involvement with this new record. Get your facts in order.
@Out. You are correct and my apologies for the error. Although most, if not all, Morrissey’s interviews, songs and imagery lend itself to a gay motif, his own public declarations of his orientation have either been vague or described mostly as asexual. Although I recall he did admit to a non-celibate life just a few years back in an interview with a UK publication.
Thank you for the note.
@Whatever and @Kelly Thanks also, but please note that I was referring to what Rolling Stone reported regarding Madonna’s rumor producers. To my knowledge, no specific producers have definitely been named.
Coincidentally, Billboard just posted this interview with Morrissey in which he mentions Madonna. https://www.billboard.com/news/morrissey-talks-label-drama-book-gaga-madonna-1005276592.story#/news/morrissey-talks-label-drama-book-gaga-madonna-1005276592.story
Morrisey always was a miserable poof, bit like those Poe faced dykes that never smile, have crew cuts and hate children.
Now where’s that prime fillet burger
