Biography
Stephen Patrick Morrissey was born on May 22, 1959 in Manchester, Englander. As a shy young man, he spent a lot of time in solitude practicing music and writing musical articles. In the late seventies, he tried to find his place in punk rock. After being rejected by Slaughter & the Dogs, he sang with Nosebleeds for a short while. In 1982, Morrissey met guitarist Johnny Marr and together they cofound one of the most influential bands of that time, The Smiths. In 1983, the musicians became an underground sensation with their debut single Hand in Glove with a slightly touching the subject of homosexuality. Morrissey promoted his band actively using his skill to communicate with press. He talked often in sharp words and tried to stick to extreme opinions in his interviews, which raised more interest to his own personality and the group itself. Besides, he managed to attract attention to his lyrics, too.
