Morrissey<\/a>\u00a0has shared a\u00a0tracklisting\u00a0for a new album on his official website, alongside the logo for Sire Records.<\/p>\n The former\u00a0Smiths<\/a>\u00a0singer\u00a0signalled\u00a0last week (December 19) that he had signed with the label<\/a>, leading many fans to assume that he would now be able to release his much-delayed album \u2018Bonfire\u00a0Of\u00a0Teenagers<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n Now, to mark Christmas Day, Morrissey has shared a 12-track list of song titles, presented without any further context.<\/p>\n The titles do not include \u2018Rebels Without Applause\u2019, the one single released from \u2018Bonfire Of Teenagers\u2019 in 2022, nor any of the other rumoured songs from that album, so it appears that these titles relate to any entirely separate record.<\/p>\n Last year, he\u00a0told\u00a0Medium<\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>that he had completed a second new album that he has been unable to release. \u201cThe second one was re-recorded in France in late 2023, and given a new title. We scrapped half of the tracks and we recorded six new ones, and so it is not the album from the beginning of 2023,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u2018The Monsters\u00a0Of\u00a0Pig Alley\u2019\u00a0<\/strong> As for \u2018Bonfire\u2026\u2019,\u00a0issues date back to December 2022, when Morrissey revealed that\u00a0he had \u201cvoluntarily withdrawn from any association with Capitol Records\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 despite announcing that he would be releasing the LP with them just two months earlier. He also\u00a0revealed that\u00a0Miley Cyrus<\/a>\u00a0had\u00a0asked to have her backing vocals removed<\/a>\u00a0from the \u2018Bonfire\u2026\u2019 track\u00a0\u2018I Am Veronica\u2019<\/a>, which\u00a0they\u2019d\u00a0recorded in 2020.<\/p>\n Both severed partnerships came in relation to the musician\u2019s political stance and his support for the controversial far-right party For Britain, whose\u00a0badge he sported during a 2019 television appearance<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite provoking controversy with his political views \u2013 something which former bandmate\u00a0Johnny Marr<\/a>\u00a0said\u00a0\u201ccast a shadow over The Smiths\u201d<\/a> \u2013 the frontman has insisted that he is not far right<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last summer, the vocalist shared a statement on\u00a0his website<\/a> around the status of \u2018Bonfire\u2026\u2019, accusing Capitol Records of \u201cfascism\u201d and having a \u201ccreeping culture of censorship\u201d. He further said he was \u201cquickly coming around to\u201d the belief that the company only signed \u2018Bonfire Of Teenagers\u2019 \u201cin order to sabotage it\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n Later allegations from the \u2018Suedehead\u2019 singer included\u00a0that the CEO of Capitol was trying to derail his career<\/a>. He also took to his website to say he was\u00a0being \u201cgagged\u201d over its release<\/a>. Blaming the \u201cidiot culture\u201d, he said: \u201cThere is no arts media anymore in England, therefore there\u2019s no one to whom I can sit and talk about this. The fact is, genuine artists in England are now being held hostage by people who object to any manner of alternative opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, he said he\u00a0had bought back the rights to the album<\/a>, as well as his 2014 record \u2018World Peace Is None\u00a0Of\u00a0Your Business\u2019.<\/p>\n Morrissey has also announced\u00a0a European tour for next year<\/a>, which will include\u00a0a headline date at The O2 in Greenwich in February<\/a>, his only UK gig of the year.\u00a0See all the dates\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and find any remaining tickets\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
