Morrissey confirmed last month that he has 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.
This comes as fans are still awaiting the release of ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ – which he previously called “the best album of his life“. Last October, Morrissey claimed that the project would be released via Capitol in 2023, before later explaining that he’d “voluntarily withdrawn from any association with Capitol Records”, who he said were trying to “sabotage” him.
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.
