Morrissey issued a new press statement thanking fans for posting homemade videos to promote his new album World Peace Is None Of Your Business. In the statement he also sang the praises of social media, and lamented that not one television program has reached out to him for a promotional appearance:
"It is 30 years on since The Smiths album entered the UK chart at number 2 with zero airplay and zero promotion, and the struggle for the airwaves remains difficult. Yet, I am writing this to you now, and you are reading it.
In answer to many people who have asked, I should like to finally make it clear that I have not received any television invitations – worldwide! – to either discuss World peace is none of your business, or even to sing any songs from the album."
Morrissey also announced one live show scheduled for October 6th in Lisbon. Shows in Athens, Istanbul, Rome, and Ireland are expected to be announced shortly.
