Race to the top - Montreal Mirror

M: I know you’re a Smiths fan, so I was going to ask you if this had anything to do with Morrissey’s early asexual phase.
RY: Oh, I should probably say that in future.
M: What’s that line? “The hills are alive with celibate cries.”
RY: Yeah. It’s so horrible when people aren’t givin’ it up.

Sam Sparro mentions Morrissey in Guardian interview

Came across this recent article via Towerload.

Free as a bird

Freshly-minted UK music sensation Sam Sparro talks to the Guardian today about being out and proud.

Says Sparro: "I've always thought, 'This is me, I'm happy with myself,' and so that's what I'm here to project. So that gay teenagers don't have to get the shit kicked out of them in school and think that they're a horrible person. It's easier to be an 'out' pop star today. Morrissey never came out, and Neil Tennant left it very, very late, whereas Jake Shears was open from the start."
