Sanctuary confident in securing Morrissey

This item is from the Billboard Music Notes Section of Go! a weekend supplement of Northern New Jersey's Bergen-Record Newspaper:

Expect an announcement soon on Morrissey's next move.

After widespread speculation that the former Smiths frontman would cut his business ties with Sanctuary Group, executives at the British independent music firm tell Billboard they are confident of securing his services.

"We're very much still in the front-running, as far as the Morrissey business is concerned," group CEO Merck Mercuriadis says. "I wouldn't put too much on that speculation."

Sanctuary handles various aspects of Morrissey's business and has been widely credited with resurrecting his career through the million-plus-selling success of his 2004 release "You Are the Quarry" and the subsequent tour in support of it.

Perhaps Merck buying Morrissey's car was a show of good faith.

That they really have lost Morrissey?

If not, they very well may thanks to this statement.

What an amateur.

    he would be crazy to leave them as they have put forth much more an effort than his last 3 or 4 labels combined. plus, el bozzer is signed with them too. despite the rumours, the team will remain intact.

      It's really good news.

      I wonder if they are "securing" his services against his will though?

        whether it was Sanctuary or Morrissey that stipulated the original contract be for only one studio album. Not a big follower of the business side of music, but it's pretty unheard of, no?

        Label-hopping virtually killed his career in the first half of the 1990s. Now he's had a bit of success, back comes the ego and the game-playing, and the seven years in the wilderness is forgotten.

          As far as I'm aware it was Morrissey himself who "resurrected" his career "through the million-plus-selling success of his 2004 release "You Are the Quarry" and the subsequent tour in support of it."

          Next we'll be told, again, that Tseng "saved Morrissey's career " when he built this tawdry website.

          FAO ALL THE CLOWNS AND PRICKS CLAIMING CREDIT FOR "SAVING MORRISSEY'S CAREER" INCLUDING DAVID "FU MANCHU" TSENG:

          GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!
          THE ONLY ONE WHO "SAVED MORRISSEY'S CAREER" WAS MORRISSEY!

          iseeyou.
