Morrissey confirmed last month that he’s recorded a new album titled ‘Without Music The World Dies’, and shared its full tracklist. His 13th and most recent full-length effort, ‘I Am Not A Dog On A Chain’, came out in 2020.
The star then announced his next LP ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ in May 2021, and said last October that the project would be released via Capitol in 2023. In late December 2022, however, Morrissey explained that he’d “voluntarily withdrawn from any association with Capitol Records”.
He also revealed that Miley Cyrus, who recorded backing vocals for ‘Bonfire…’ track ‘I Am Veronica’ in 2020, had asked to have her vocals removed from the song.
Morrissey said in a statement that despite Capitol still maintaining ownership of ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’, the label would not release it. It came after he was dropped by BMG in November 2020.
