Online gossip outfit Popbitch included an excerpt from THAT letter today in their weekly mail out;
Morrissey savages his record label
Spare a thought for Sanctuary Records. Matthew
Knowles' urban division nearly bankrupted them,
founder and CEO Andy Taylor has been sacked,
and the company lost nearly 150m pounds last
year. And now they've got star artist Morrissey
after their blood. Moz has leaked a letter he
wrote to his manager Merck Mercuriadis accusing
the company, particularly radio pluggers,
of incompetence.
Morrissey rages that his single, The Youngest
Was The Most Loved, should have been number one.
"The situation... is grave and somewhat deadly.
It has set a new low for all our spirits." He
then savages his handler Jed who, "continues
to have the time of his life - at my expense -
but also at yours", before ending by saying
"Sanctuary have blown the whistle on themselves
and there is no excuse. MORRISSEY." It seems
even the rats are leaving this sinking ship.
I thought Morrissey was once cited as a Popbitch 'Untouchable'?
