Morrissey was interviewed by Australia's 3 News ahead of his tour of Australia & New Zealand (kicks off December 14th). Moz answered questions about a range of subjects, including the music industry (said he doesn't have a record label deal because "I have a brain...it works, it functions") and revealed he's happy to be considered an individual and musician that's hard to define. Of course, his comments that are making the internet news cycle is the portion of the interview where he criticized the Royal family and blamed them in part for the death of the British nurse who committed suicide after being duped by a radio show.
Watch the full 20 minute interview plus Morrissey's performance of "You Have Killed Me" below. The official videos are posted over at 3 News ( link to the interview ) (link to the performance).
