MORRISSEY
" The Smiths happened because I had walked home in the rain once too often."
Stephen Patrick Morrissey was born in Manchester in 1959.
As a child he was influenced by 1960's girl groups, kitchen sink drama and Oscar Wilde.
Before forming The Smiths, Morrissey fronted punk band The Nosebleeds and for a short time was singer with Slaughter & the Dogs.
Together with guitarist Johnny Marr, he formed The Smiths in 1982, and was signed to Rough Trade Record the following year.
The Smiths became one of the most influential bands of the 1980s, but split acrimoniously in 1987.
Since then Morrissey has released ten solo albums and remains one of rock's most outspoken and charismatic figures."
Totally put me off.
