Morrissey’s musical legacy is undeniable. Widely regarded as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, he first made his mark as co‑founder and lead singer of The Smiths, a band whose four albums forever changed the landscape of British music. After the Smiths’ debut single Hand In Glove, Morrissey went on to craft a rich body of work both with the band and as a solo artist, including timeless songs like This Charming Man, How Soon Is Now?, Suedehead and Everyday Is Like Sunday.
On his own, Morrissey has released 13 solo studio albums, an impressive string of No. 1 records and earned an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. His current tour celebrates that remarkable songbook that has connected with generations of fans. This year, he is also set to release a new album titled Make‑Up Is a Lie on March 6 through Sire Records, his first new studio project in several years. The title track and lead single have already been shared, offering a glimpse of his latest work to come.
There has been plenty of discussion around Morrissey recently, including his announcement that he is offering his business interests in The Smiths, including rights to the band’s name and catalogue, up for sale. Additionally, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, one of The Smiths’ most celebrated songs, has recently reached the milestone of one billion streams on Spotify, showing how enduring his music remains.
