Morrissey has never been especially cheerful, but it sounds like he really got up on the wrong side of the bed in an interview he did recently with Uncut magazine.
When asked about his recent snubbing of a $5 million offer to reunite with his former bandmates, Moz said: “It has been 18 years since it ended; I don’t know them, they don’t know me, they know nothing about me, I know nothing about them. Anything I know about them is unpleasant, so why on earth do we want to be on stage together making music?”
He also cuts into the Royal Family: “The very idea of Charles being king is laughable.”
The Prime Minister and his wife: “I don’t like his face, I don’t like his expression. I don’t think anybody else does. And I can’t stand Cherie Blair’s face, I just wonder if there can ever be a photograph of her where she has her mouth shut.”
And celebrities in general: “”I was interested in intelligent celebrity. The word now is so base and disgusting and seems to apply to anybody that is anything but a celebrity.”
We wouldn’t have Morrissey any other way.
If possible.
