MORRISSEY RETAINS HIS MYSTERY. OR PERHAPS HIS CLOSET.

Asked by The Times if he was going to clear up the question of his sexuality, Morrisey elected not to:

I wonder if this refusal stems from a deliberate attempt to create mystique or ordinary embarrassment. “It’s neither of those things. I’m simply myself, which is inexcusable to many people. I’m not trapped by anything.”

One thing he isn't, though, and is happy to make clear, is Michael Stipe's ex:

"That’s absolute shit, absolute shit and I don’t know why people ever said that, do you?”

It's not clear if he's more upset at the suggestion he'd been shagging anyone, or Stipe in particular.
