"In a sullen episode befitting some of his more gloomy lyrics, Morrissey, lead singer of the Smiths, has abruptly shut down an email address he was promoting to sell his business interests in the band. The notoriously saturnine frontman blamed disagreeable and vexatious characters involved with the band for his sudden decision, and claimed he had endured decades of misery, in a post on Friday on his website morrisseycentral.com."
"Earlier this week, Morrissey, 66, who dropped his first names Steven Patrick when he became a performer, said he was selling his stake in the band to any interested party/investor, and invited inquiries to the email address eaves7760@gmail.com. The singer, who wrote the lyrics to the Smiths' biggest hits, including 1984's Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, said he was burnt out by any and all connections to [bandmates Johnny] Marr, [Andy] Rourke, and [Mike] Joyce."
Morrissey abruptly closed an email he had promoted to solicit offers to buy his stake in the Smiths, citing a colossal response. He invited inquiries to eaves7760@gmail.com before shutting it down. He blamed disagreeable and vexatious characters tied to the band's business and said he had endured decades of misery and thirty-eight years of insults and abuse. He said his love for the Smiths' songs would never waver but he was burnt out by connections to Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce. Representatives for Marr and Joyce declined to comment. He also stated he is apolitical and has never voted.
