I have it in good faith that Morrissey was interviewed by the NME recently to promote a free 7 inch single being offered with each copy of the music paper. However, for whatever reason,the NME have withdrawn the issue of the free cd and are currently considering whether or not to publish the interview. What reasons could they have for not publishing as Morrissey has had the offer of retracting his statements and declined this offer?

7" or CD? (Score:0)
That's a confusing little puzzle you've put together.

I suppose all might become clear if NME publish the interview, but what if they don't?

It was all arranged prior to the interview taking place, with the plan being for an interviewer to go and do a fairly straightforward puff-piece, and get some nice easily-pullable quotes.
Instead, the interviewer went in cocky and aggressive, pushing all the buttons Moz didn't want pushed, and NME have utterly blown their not-unreasonable relationship with the guy all over again.

NME's Morrissey interview - facts (Score:2, Informative)
Yes, NME does have an exclusive interview with Morrissey about to be published. It's currently planned to be on sale on the 28th November in the UK (this is tbc). It was triggered by Morrissey's new solo dates and the plans in place for a new record contract and given our great relationship with Moz you'd expect us to be first.
I did have a discussion with Morrissey's management about doing a 7" single on the cover (as we published this year with both The White Stripes and Babyshambles.) We had agreed to make this happen but have been unable to do so because the decision on Morrissey's record label has yet to be resolved - it can't be put out on a new label when Morrissey doesn't yet have a new label.
Anything else published as rumour and conjecture is just that - unsubstantiated noise.

Alas as Conor has pointed out that has not been possible as we are still finalizing details of the new record deal and simply ran out of time before the deadline to press the vinyl.
