Prior to it's release, Morrissey condemned the film with an 14 August 2008 statement:
Prior to it's release, Morrissey condemned the film with an 14 August 2008 statement:<br>
 
"''The slapdash release of '''Morrissey: Live at the Hollywood Bowl''' is done by Warner without any consultation to me whatsoever, and is in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager. Being Warner, predictably the sleeve art is appalling. It is the work of cash-hounds, and I urge people NOT to buy it. I am not signed to Warner, and no royalties from this DVD will come to me. <br>Please spend your money elsewhere. <br><br>Thank you, MORRISSEY.''"

Following the statement, the release date for the DVD was delayed until March 1, 2009. However, the title was later canceled and has never seen an official release. Promo copies of the disc were found later on auction sites, but due to the limited number pressed and their high value, they remained highly elusive to the general public. The complete DVD leaked on the internet in 2011.
