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.
