Morrissey has discussed cancer diagnosis, the current music industry and his long battle with depression during a rare interview with Larry King. A few clips are below.
Morrissey was also on US TV yesterday (August 18th) performing his ‘World Peace Is None Of Your Business‘ album track ‘Kiss Me a Lot‘ for James Corden’s Late Late Show – which you can see on Live4ever here – but had a much more in-depth chat with King before airing the same song.
“Barrett’s cancer, it’s in the esophagus,” he said of cancer diagnosis. “They screen it occasionally and I have medication, but I’m OK. Lots of people have it and they fade away, lots of people have it and they don’t fade away.”
“You don’t really hear that word – the ‘c’ word – it seems to drifts over you. You just say ‘yes, oh yes’. Later, when you’re on the stairs by yourself, it triggers in your mind. At the time you don’t hear it.”
