Morrissey to release Munich disaster song - Ananova
10:37 Monday 5th April 2004

Morrissey is to release a new song about the Munich air disaster on the b-side of his new single.

Munich Air Disaster 1958 will be the b-side to Irish Blood, English Heart which is due out next month.

The disaster was the darkest moment in the history of Manchester United who were returning from a match in Belgrade when their plane stopped at Munich for refuelling.

The plane crashed in a blizzard on its third attempt to take off from Munich airport, killing 23 of the 43 people onboard.

Among the dead were eight of United's most promising young players - the Busby Babes - including Duncan Edwards considered the greatest young British player of his generation.

Morrisey's new single is due out on May 10 on Sanctuary Records and will be issued on two different CDs.

Munich Air Disaster 1958 is on the B-side along with The Never Played Symphonies of CD1 while It's Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small is on the B-side to CD2.

None of the three bonus songs on the single CDs are included on the former Smiths' frontman's new album, You Are The Quarry, due May 17, the first from Morrissey since 1997's Maladjusted.

    Not too sure about this one. I didn't think Morrissey had any interest in football. To me Morrissey represents everything that football isn't. Sorry to sound negative, I still think Moz will hit the top ten with the single and possibly number one with the album. VIVA MOZ!

      Morrissey has remembered his beloved Manchester United team by penning a b-side titled Munich Air Disaster 1958. The song, featured on his forthcoming single Irish Blood,English Heart, is a reminder of the plane disaster that decimated the Manchester United team.

      The team plane had stopped at Munich airport for refuelling and on its third attempt to take off, crashed in a blizzard, killing 23 of the 43 people on board. Among the dead were eight of the team's most promising young players.

      Morrisey's new single is released 10 May on Sanctuary Records and will be issued as two different CDs.

      Munich Air Disaster 1958 is on the B-side along with The Never Played Symphonies of CD1 while It's Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small is on the B-side to CD2.

      None of the B-sides feature on his forthcoming album You Are The Quarry, due 17 May, the first from the former Smith's frontman since 1997's Maladjusted.

        Of course its extra -ordinary that football permeates too much of our received media, like sex , around the world boatmen and dead children. However I guess energy is best placed on living art rather than observing it. On being artful rather than being dull.
