Morrissey working on novel to follow up wildly successful autobiography

People are still getting around to reading Morrissey's just-released autobiography (with the exception of Smiths' drummer Mike Joyce) and Moz is already talking about another book. It seems the former Smiths frontman wants to write a novel.

"In 2013 I published my Autobiography and it has been more successful than any record I have ever released, so, yes, I am mid-way through my novel," he wrote as part of a Q&A session on fansite True To You.  "I have my hopes."

Of course, Moz couldn't let a simple answer go by without bashing the culture at large adding "The actuality is that radio stations will not play my music, and the majority of people have lost faith in the music industry, and it's generally assumed - quite rightly - that the number one chart positions are "bought" by the major labels, so there really is no passion left in pop or rock music, and I don't think people believe for an instant that the faces we constantly see on television and in magazines are remotely popular."

Way to start of the year strong, Morrissey! I was thinking you might be tired from a 2013 that included beefs with the Staples Center, Beyonce, President Obama, foie gras and Thanksgiving. Glad to know that 2014 will be just as full of hot air as any other year.
