http://www.true-to-you.net/#050528 28th May 2005 IOW statement from Morrissey: I have not ever, at any time, agreed to play the Isle of Wight Festival. The announcement that I would play was made by Sanctuary—and it was their error. However, record companies will never take the blame for their own mistakes and Sanctuary’s press statement today reflects this. In truth, I am not at all under pressure with the follow-up to You Are The Quarry—everything is in hand, and ready. However, my contract with Sanctuary ended last year and hasn’t been renewed. Hence, no promotional appearances for Live At Earls Court or the accompanying single. Surely somebody noticed? Secondly, I have NOT parted company with Deano, and I am annoyed that Sanctuary have thrown this in without consulting either Deano or myself. But that’s just the way it goes. Call it anything other than what it is. Thirdly, I have no connection at all with the site called Morrisseymusic.com. It is controlled by Sanctuary and I am neither consulted nor involved. When a concert is announced in error—as with Japan last year—the inevitable news to follow is that I have “pulled out”; but I can’t pull out if I’ve never been in in the first place, and even though Janice Long kindly announced very early on that the IOW wouldn’t happen, unfortunately Sanctuary would not confirm this and this encouraged people to buy tickets. I am very angry about the IOW, but I can’t control Sanctuary. I also realise that, regardless of the facts, people will always blame me for any unfortunate incidents—somehow believing that I control the entire spectrum of human events. In truth, since our closing dates last year in London and Dublin, my personal involvement in anything that has followed has been sub minus zero. There will be a new signing for the new album, so please wait until you hear the news from my lips. Everything else is just gossip. love to you from MORRISSEY. 27th May 2005 ---

Thanks Morrissey (Score:3, Interesting)
Before reading this story I've just written a bit trying to put the 'cancellation' in context, which my ego doesn't want to delete, but of course Morrissey expresses the truth much better and rightfully puts the record company to shame in this instance.
The reactions to Morrissey’s cancellation show the devotion he inspires. A lot of things about him, his honesty, his playfulness, his knowledge, his style, attract attention in a way that’s different, and more like the love-bombing of a cult than the trendiness of a pop-star. “When you are young you crave affection and it can come from the strangest direction”. Like a cult he seems to say: ‘don’t listen to them – listen to me and keep me in mind’ but he doesn’t sneakily draw one in to a comfort cushion of belonging and approval at the eventual cost of individual freedom under dire threat.
It’s more like ‘who knows, we may never meet again so let’s be euphoric while we’re together with the music, but otherwise you live your life and I live mine’. He’s juggling with options and time-pressures and meeting standards as much as the rest of us, but not covering it over with a perfectionism and not reducing quality or pace by pretending to please everyone. He’s responding to changing circumstances and knowing his real strengths and limitations. He’s not asking everyone to follow him and rely on him blindly but more being an example of how people can have happy encounters if they’re not putting all their eggs in one basket but looking after the business of everyday that is in their power, preparing carefully, making necessary choices and decisions, and seizing the day as suits.
The enduring alluring paradox of Morrissey – divinely human!

You both screwed up.

All you had to do was send a statement to True To You a long time ago and it would've gotten around.
"I am very angry about the IOW, but I can’t control Sanctuary."
Yes, you're angry at Sanctuary, yadda yadda yadda. You still owe some of your fans an apology, which you're too full of yourself to include in your statement.
"somehow believing that I control the entire spectrum of human events."
Rubbish. You certainly do control what statements you issue to your fans. You just didn't care.
"In truth, since our closing dates last year in London and Dublin, my personal involvement in anything that has followed has been sub minus zero."
Oh you're so above it all, Morrissey. Meanwhile some of your fans were spending hundreds of dollars - in some cases more - to attend a concert your official web site was promoting and you didn't lift a figure to set straight, even though you knew you had no intention of playing there all along.

Re:The real Morrissey (Score:2, Insightful)
No...he made an icon out of himself. And well deserved I might add. Morrissey went against all odds to keep his creative output at the highest level after enduring a catastrophic breakup of arguably the worlds greatest band. He also went againt the stereotype of an artist caring only for the music and not paying attention to his finances. Ask Billy Joel, Elton John or Willie Nelson where that got them. If you earned Millions so early in life wouldn't you look after it? Morrissey worked very hard to get where he is. You couldn't begin to fathom the speed his life moves at. And for those who say they are sick of hearing Morrissey fans say how he saved their lives, changed their lives, etc... well he did change mine for one more than you would ever know. I believe without his influence and that of Robert Smith I never would have become a singer, songwriter and musician. He meens a lot to many of us and if you don't get the impact he has had on some of our lives then well...I am truly sorry for your missing out on that. Every great human that has achieved their dreams had those dreams planted by someone who they found iconic. Even Morrissey has his list of influences. In turn Morrissey influences (read changes the lives of) a great very many people and a landslide of musicians and singers. He is my generations Bowie or Gilmore.
By the by...This is a site built to honor and revel in Morrissey's career and creative output...You do know that right?

You're a liar, Morrissey (Score:0, Troll)
Unfortunately, you have very little credibility with your fans. You speak out of both sides of your mouth. History has proven that you routinely cancel shows and appearances and place the blame on everyone else but yourself. You always play the victim, Morrissey, but this too, becomes old. You don't care at all about your fans and the hard earned money they spend on your records and your concerts. If you did care, you'd bite the bullet and play IOW as a gesture of good will to the people who have stuck by you all these years and have allowed you to dress yourself in designer clothes. According to your own statement, poor, poor, Morrissey, you have no excuse for not playing the IOW festival at this point. You're problems are between you and your label Sanctuary. We, the fans, have nothing to do with it but you've dragged us into the fold. I have read the statement by your label more than a dozen times and I have not seen anything that suggests your drummer Deano is out of the band. But I guess you read it the way you want to read it, Morrissey. You have disappointed hundreds of thousands of people, Morrissey. On behalf of your fans, I must say this is the last straw. You are in desperate need of therapy and some hard-core medication. We're sick, sick, sick of you playing the victim and we won't stand for it any longer. If you have an ounce of compassion or courage in that egotistical head of yours you'll play IOW. If not, you're nothing but a vindictive prick.

I'm not that pissed off anymore, i was more so when we were fobbed off with an excuse from his record company, but it doesn't explain why he didn't mention the fact that he had no intention to play beforehand. He's obviously aware of what's going on since the message on 'true to you' was dated as being written on the 27th, the date when the announcement was made on morrisseymusic.com, we should have been told earlier & there's no excuse for that.

At last people on this site are waking up to the fact that the Mozfather doesn't give a bastard's fuck about any of you people - as long as he's not inconvenienced he couldn't care less about the hardship he puts his fans through.

the Oye Esteban promotion consisted entirely of two DVD signings.
singles came out last year that weren't accompanied by any TV show appearances or interviews. you could almost argue that what appearances he did make were to remind people that he was on tour.
i find it odd that they haven't exercised their renewal.....combined with the "new signing" comment, the only thing i can think of is that a bigger label has come by and bought his contract out.
which is kind of nice. i mean, sanctuary were at least good to show that he could still pull in the big bucks, but they completely went to town on it in a bad way.
i know he was probably waiting on sanctuary to do the right thing for his fans, but if they're not willing to do it, then he should at least do it for his fans. he has to understand that the information presented was confusing. the very fact that he announced it only on Janice Long's show (which is assuming that every fan tunes in to her show) but tickets were still being sold gave everyone the impression that he changed his mind. it wasn't a very strong "no" either. more strongly worded press releases to the websites and newspapers would have done the job.

We might presume from Moz’ statement, that hearing anything from his lips from now on means checking with Julia’s website. The ‘Live at EarlsCourt’ CD cites Sanctuary and morrisseymusic as the contacts, and that Morrissey’s name is clearly attached to those information sources makes things very confusing indeed. If he is CEO of Attack though (does anyone know for sure if he still is – otherwise maybe he’s searching for a ‘deal’ or could he set up solo?), he could organize an associated site to clue people in to the news in his world. If he wants wiggling room, he might read up on a few governmental or legal reports whose opacity and scope for interpretation are myriad, leaving everyone guessing but no-one guaranteed! If there are legal issues about what he can publicise, that might complicate things more than we can imagine.
That’s all I can think of for now ‘cos I’m exhausted and ready for someone to ‘sing me to sleep’! Over to you!

but as you say, here i go joining in with something unproved. why am i thinking of george galloway: 'i have never played isle of wight, was never going to play the isle of wight, never met the isle of wight' etc
regardless of whether this is a true statement - if i'd bought tickets i'd feel furious and betrayed, and not remotely interested in whether it's moz, sanctuary or the promoter to blame.

I very, very much doubt the authenticity of this statement.
Yes, it's to Julia. But he's NEVER communicates over the internet, or never has done, and before I reason against this being a geniune Morrissey statement, some other points;
1. I never heard the Janice Long announcment, did you?
2. 'True To You' is a virtually redunadant site, and if Morrissey has chosen to communicate through it, it means he has chosen Julia Riley as his spokeswoman. I know the first 'You Are The Quarry' details were released there, but still.... He knows Morrissey Solo is the direct route to the fans.
If this statement is genuine, we have not only underestimated Julia, but unhappily misjudged Morrissey's political sense.
3. "I can't control Sanctuary". Yes you can, Morrissey, you have them wound around your finger because you sold a million records last year. And you'd never have it any other way. They tripple backflip when you snap your fingers, so don't blame them.
4. So you've dropped them have you? Jeeeez, this means at least a 4 year wait before a new album. Christ Alive, you posed with the Johnny Thunders guitar they gave you on signing for the last single and now you decide they're screwing you?
5. It's amazing Morrissey's so shocked at the Isle Of White cancellation. This (I think false) announcement would lead us to believe he never knew he was booked to play it. Which is obviously nonsense.
6. RE: NEW ALBUM. "Everything is in hand, and ready". No, this is not Morrissey writing, this is a hoaxter. There's not been a single hint that new material has been written, and if Morrissey has lyrics, he don't have no songwriters. The Alain question reeks of shit and I can't see Boz contributing under these circumstances.
7. Okay, all Morrissey fans vote on this. On tackling the Deano question, Moz writes 'that's just the way it goes'. COME ON! Morrissey would never quote his own lyric in his first internet announcment. This IS a hoaxter.
8. He then claims he has no control over Morrisseymusic.com. Yeah, okay. He'd have flung sixty lawyers at it as readily as he throws bean skins into the garbage. Yes, he has nothing to do with the artistic look of morrisseymusic (which is obvious) but he gets consulted on every change and inclusion. He's a canny business man.
So we might never know, and it'll raise the Julia thing again, but I don't think this is Morrissey.
