Morrissey's book deal falls through + 'Morrissey 25: Live' DVD/Blu-Ray coming in October

UPDATE (9/13 @ 8:30 PM): Morrissey and Penguin have patched things up and the book will be released this autumn

Bad news for fans hoping to read Morrissey's much anticipated autobiography. According to True To You, the previously announced publishing deal with Penguin has fallen through:

"Although Morrissey's Autobiography was set to be available throughout the UK on September 16th, a last-minute content disagreement between Penguin Books and Morrissey has caused the venture to collapse. No review copies were printed, and Morrissey is now in search of a new publisher."

Meanwhile, Morrissey's concert film Morrissey 25: Live will be released on DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital video in North America on October 22nd. Pre-order the DVD or Blu Ray from Amazon here. Other pre-order options from Eagle Rock Entertainment will be available starting September 27th. Morrissey 25: Live was shot at Morrissey's Hollywood Hills show on March 2nd, and premiered on the big screen last month. Several screenings are scheduled to take place in the coming months. The two Detroit area screenings take place February 26th at 2 pm and 7:30 pm at the Berman Center for the Performing Arts in West Bloomfield.
