Overview
- A representative confirmed the signing after Morrissey posted Sire’s logo on his channels on Dec. 18.
- Sire has not announced release plans, and no dates are set for new music.
- Morrissey says he has two completed albums awaiting release, including Bonfire of the Teenagers and a 2023 re-recorded set now titled You’re Right, It’s Time.
- Bonfire was cut in 2020–2021 with producer Andrew Watt and guests like Miley Cyrus, Chad Smith, Flea, and Iggy Pop, then was dropped by BMG and later shelved at Capitol; Morrissey has said he bought back its rights and that Cyrus asked to remove her vocals.
- The signing follows years of industry fallout over his politics and recent touring turbulence, with 2026 European dates including London’s O2 on Feb. 28 and multiple 2025 shows canceled citing extreme exhaustion.
