Update: Morrissey autobiography to be published "within the next few weeks"

Less than 24 hours after announcing Morrissey's publishing deal with Penguin had been scrapped, it appears the two sides have come to terms and Morrissey's autobiography will indeed be published. True To You posted a brief "clarification" stating that Penguin will be publishing the book in the U.K. within the next few weeks (instead of the original September 16th publish date). Read the clarification below:

"The publication of Morrissey's Autobiography remains with Penguin Books. This is a deal for the UK and Europe, but Morrissey has no contract with a publisher for the U.S. or any other territory. As of 13 September, Morrissey and Penguin (UK) remain determined to publish within the next few weeks."

The original statement from September 12th, which indicated the deal had fallen through is posted below:

"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."
