Mozza is not a happy bunny.
There are a few things certain in life. Death, taxes and also the propensity of Morrissey to be a downright miserable git. The former Smiths frontman is renowned for his barbed attacks on the world of celebrity and this latest outburst is not much of a surprise.
In his sights this time chiefly are the forthcoming Brit Awards and the fact that non-Brits Madonna and Taylor Swift are appearing on them.
He told fan-site True To You, “In the guise of serving the public, the Brit Awards have hi-jacked modern music in order to kill off the heritage that produced so many interesting people.”
On Madonna he mused, “In 2015, we have MacDonna, who had a quiet 2014 (but who is quite usefully about to release her new album!), yet here she is again promoting her frightening career on the Brit Awards even though her music has not ever said anything at all about British life.”
Switching his attention to Taylor Swift he said, “Taylor Swift has nothing to do with Coventry or Wrexham. To pull off rank fraud in tellyland is not a difficult undertaking, especially if you have the entire population of Peru dancing around you as you mime your song.”
We hope he never changes.
