Re: Morrissey's family...

One question that has always puzzled me is what is his relationship with his family? I doubt anyone knows for sure but I heard when he's gigging in Manchester he always stays in a hotel?!

Strange if his family still live there...

Just curious as to know

He's staying at my house after the Apollo gigs, but don't tell anyone, especially 'No Place Like Rome' or he'll be stalking around Moston like a fly on shit

It's normal to stay in a hotel when he's touring.

I heard many years ago that the book was bull and none of the people that really knew or know Morrissey and Marr contributed so I've avoided it.

do you rate it Kewpie or are the sources the type who'd met him once for an hour and have then formed a lifelong opinion from that fleeting meeting?

I have spoken with Mike Joyce about the book..... he said he obviously doesn't know about Morrissey pre Smiths.... but what he wrote about The Smiths he was amazed at..... very accurate considering Rogan was never there.

I have read the severed alliance...but it seemed to say more about his relationship with his mum and family BEFORE.

thanks for moving me to this thread

You'll find gf23 that jukebox jury can tell you all this cos he's spent the best part of the last 20 years pestering the living daylights out of him. Morrissey long since filed him away as a nuisance fan

I remember him on the One Show not long ago talking about how his mum loved the show and to say hello to her

Like mother like daughter. Moz's sister looks just like their mother.

Is this the only picture that exists of his sister?

so who spoke to him(Rogan) to give secrets away for money?
I heard it didn't reflect well on Morrissey so I didn't bother reading it as I'm so very biased in his favour and I do feel that a lot of people like say Tony Wilson (stands out through previous comments) liked to hang on to a few memories by making themselves more important and make it seem that they knew him so well when in fact I doubt they had deep meaningful conversations.
so many of these sources like their drink and drugs whereas Morrissey didn't need it. they are not all sober accounts.
I would believe James Maker, Linder and Johnny in a heartbeat not Joyce or Rourke.

I doubt very much that Rogan paid people to speak about Morrissey. And you think Tony Wilson really needed anecdotes about Morrissey to make him more important than he was

So it didn't reflect well on Morrissey (your words). So what if that what was written was correct? You didn't bother reading it because it is correct but Morrissey didn't approve or it didn't reflect well on him?
I'm not saying it was or wasn't correct.... what I'm saying is read it with an open mind and then judge for yourself.

yes, He always called him Steven which is really rude when someone requests a different name. It's all about control, it's saying I knew you when people called you odd and weird and to me you're still that boy and you always will be. you can't leave your past cos I won't let you.
Alan Bennett, Nancy Sinatra,(who are great) plus Johnny respect his wish to forget that feeling he had pre Smiths.
