Morrissey to release a new album in 2011

Morrissey has completed his new album, according to a statement the singer wrote to the Morrissey fansite True-to-you.net. “The follow-up to Years of Refusal is ready and fluttering wildly against the bars,” The ex-Smiths frontman wrote. “There is still no record label and the years shuffle like cards. My talents do not lie in DIY.” He also went on to bash his former label EMI for their release of Very Best of Morrissey. “Very Best of Morrissey has yet to tunnel its way into what we older types refer to as Record Shops–six days after intended release,” he said. “With Very Best Of… I face my first ever non-chart placing–which I shall bear with dignity.” No more information on the new album has surfaced, but a 2011 release seems likely.
