## Bio

Born to working-class Irish immigrants in Lancashire in 1959, Steven Patrick Morrissey grew up in Stretford after slum clearance displaced his family from Hulme, absorbing literature, kitchen sink realism, and 1960s pop. A brief punk stint and music journalism led to forming the Smiths with Johnny Marr in 1982; their eponymous debut and three studio albums that followed — Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead, Strangeways, Here We Come — earned critical acclaim and a cult following before personal differences ended the band in 1987. His solo career launched with Viva Hate in 1988 and spanned decades of top-charting albums, a mid-nineties dip, relocation to Los Angeles, and a 2004 comeback with You Are the Quarry. His image morphed from fey outsider to a figure toying with working-class masculinity and British heritage, his outspoken stances on vegetarianism, royalty, and immigration making him as polarising as he remained influential.
