About

Morrissey (born Steven Patrick Morrissey, 22 May 1959, Manchester) rose to prominence as the frontman and lyricist of The Smiths, one of the defining British bands of the 1980s. After the band split in 1987, he built a solo career spanning fourteen studio albums, including Viva Hate (1988), Your Arsenal (1992) and You Are the Quarry (2004). His sharp, literary lyrics and outspoken personality have made him a cult figure in alternative music - as divisive as he is beloved.
