Morrissey has said this weekend’s gigs at the Eventim Apollo in London are likely to be his ‘last ever shows’ as he remains without a record label.
The former Smiths frontman has had spells in the wilderness before, during the seven-year gap between 1997’s ‘Maladjusted‘ and 2004’s ‘You Are The Quarry‘ for example, and more recently as he searched for another five years for a label willing to take on 2014’s ‘World Peace Is None Of Your Business‘.
But having quickly departed that label, Harvest, Morrissey has told fansite True To You that he believes there is, ‘no way that we can generate any interest from record labels in the United Kingdom’, and therefore he doesn’t foresee anymore live activity in the future.
“There is absolutely no way that we can generate any interest from record labels in the United Kingdom, therefore the imminent two nights at Hammersmith are likely to be our final ever UK shows,” the statements reads.
“We are obsessively grateful for all interest and loyalty from our audience throughout 28 years but without new releases, there is no point in any additional touring.”
