Alan W. is Mozzer's best co -write, regarless any one say's. For example if Morrissey or the record company let's him go trust me ! You will see all my records,cd's,etc,etc on ebay. re-issue re-issue repackage.... Morrissey your'e killing me!!

If Alain was kicked out of the band (Score:2, Insightful)
The fact is that there is little that indicates anything other than what we have already heard - that Alain is unable to be in the band at the moment, due to some sort of illness. Let's not start any unfounded rumours because of the probably random actions of a website operator.

Be patient (Score:1, Insightful)
The fact that the link is gone could be as simple to explain as the person above who said it is just down for revisions. Why make it sound like Morrissey had his lawyers remove it due to a contractual agreement that permanently cuts Alain off from ever working with Morrissey again?
As far as the whole "Alain writes/plays better than so & so" and vice versa arguement: If Alain stays, good for him. Let's hope he writes some cracking music. If Alain is replaced, OK then it's time to move on since there is nothing we can do about it and let's hope whomever replaces him writes some cracking music. Either way, let's just hope Alain is well and if things have come to an end between him and Morrissey that it ended peacefully and they are both happy about it.
Without any kind of PROOF at all, we have people blaming and attacking Morrissey. But IF Morrissey did have something to do with Alain no longer being in the group, so what? Granted it won't be easy to find someone as talented as Alain, but that's not our problem. And just as Morrissey came into contact with Alain and things took off from there, so it can happen again with someone else. Most of us didn't know Alain before his work with Morrissey and if he gets replaced it MAY be with someone none of us know now. But we could be very pleased with that new person.

No.. (Score:1)
It seems that nobody has a clue what is going on... even if they do, they are not telling us.
I simply can't understand the people that disrespect Alain on this site.
Morrissey could have done with a few more genuine blokes like him over the years.
Good luck Alain.

Pictures containing Alain are still posted. (Score:2, Interesting)
Coupling this with the fact that the Alain Whyte Syte is "official" only in name, I think anyone would be ill-advised to jump the gun as to the significance of the link being removed.
Besides, listen to the Janice Long session again. Any longtime Morrissey / Alain listener can tell that at least one of those new songs is very likely a Whyte collaboration.
Cheers,

There were alledged rumors posted on Alain's unofficial Site about his temporary absence. So... Moz and company "unlinked" the site...

conjecture, as usual (Score:2, Interesting)
There are many possible reasons why the link may have been removed, eg:
i) the site hasn't been updated in a long time and therefore isn't particularly informative
ii) Alain may want some privacy, and therefore forums which result in fan emails or postings asking where he is, has he left, was he sacked is he ill etc - however well intended - aren't appreciated!
In any event, as much as many of us would like to see Alain back with the band...isn't it irrelevant, if, as the coded warning at Earls Court suggests, Morrissey has called it a day? I hope to be proved wrong, but the live album may well be the "new album next year" that Morrissey referred to in the recent Word interview. The lack of any update of the MorrisseyMusic tour placeholders does not bode well.
The plot thickens (Score:1, Interesting)
I wish everybody would let it drop for a while and give the guy the space, privacy and respect he deserves.
I hope he does come back to the fold but it looks unlikely at present. Perhaps whatever his demons are, they will be sorted through time, rest and the patience of his friends, family and fans.
Whatever is troubling him, it's clearly very serious - so he needs to do whatever he feels he needs to - however long it takes.
If he doesn't come back then we always have the amazing music to look back on and cherish. Everyone is replacable but some are more difficult to replace than others. Morrissey made his name before him and will continue without him too... it's a shame but it's true.
Like I said though, I think Alain is great alongside Morrissey and I really hope he gets well soon.

I really like all the new picture logos on this site at the moment, especially the one produced by 'Featherweight' - a big thumbs up for the excellent Morrissey whipping the microphone cable logo from me!
As for the Alain link on the web-site being removed - it means nothing.

Well by that logic, Morrissey must be sacked too! (Score:2, Funny)
If no link from MorrisseyMusic.com to the Alain Whyte site means that Alain is 'out' then by the same logic, Morrissey has sacked himself and is now seeking gainful employment elsewhere.

Impressiveness is precisely the reason the book needs to be a hardback. It is more durable, and if someone comes along you do not wish to speak to, he or she is more likely to leave you alone if you appear to be reading a hardcover book.
