Morrissey Unveils New Album in London
Morrissey was on hand tonight (Dec. 11) in London to introduce a playback of his new Polydor/Decca album, Years of Refusal, but he made no comment on recent reports of a Smiths reunion. A spokesman later declined to comment on a story in the Daily Mirror claiming Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr had agreed to tour. It follows a tabloid report, swiftly denied, in October that the band would reform for the Coachella festival. In 2006, Morrissey revealed he was offered $5 million for the band to play the event.
At tonight’s event at Piccadilly's Pigalle Club, Morrissey was introduced by recently appointed Polydor president Ferdy Unger-Hamilton, who described him as “an artist we're all very proud of." Standing next to a large image of the album sleeve, featuring Morrissey holding a baby, the singer joked, “That's my son."
