Morrissey

MORRISSEY. British lead singer of The Smiths, the influential and important British Alternative Indie rock group active between 1982 and 1987 ; the band were notable for Morrisseys unusual lyrics and Johnny Marrs complex guitar style. They released four studio LPs ; The Smiths 1984 (No2) / Meat Is Murder 1985 (No1) / The Queen is Dead 1986 (No2) and Strangeways Here We Come 1987 (No2) , along with their best known Top 10 singles This Charming Man / Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now and Sheila Take A Bow. Since their 1987 split, Morrissey has continued to enjoy a sparodically succesful solo career, but there have sadly remained over the years constant acrimonius disputes between the band members played out in the courts over rights and royalties.
