Morrissey is slamming the music industry, the press, celebrities and others for what he believes are hypocritical tributes to Sinead O’Connor, an artist he claims many of them ridiculed or even blackballed.
’s death on Wednesday, slamming the music industry, the press, celebrities and others he perceives as paying hypocritical tributes to an artist many of them had previously ridiculed or even blackballed.
“There is a certain music industry hatred for singers who don’t ‘fit in’ ,” he wrote, “and they are never praised until death – when, finally, they can’t answer back. The cruel playpen of fame gushes with praise for Sinead today … with the usual moronic labels of “icon” and “legend”. You praise her now ONLY because it is too late. You hadn’t the guts to support her when she was alive and she was looking for you.
“The press will label artists as pests because of what they withhold … and they would call Sinead sad, fat, shocking, insane … oh but not today!,” he continues.
Some may take issue with his words, and it’s not hard to imagine that, as he acknowledges, he’s seeing the cynical tributes that are likely to follow the aftermath of his own death. But there’s also no question that O’Connor, a troubled human being who’d long acknowledged her own mental-health struggles, is now receiving fawning praise from some of the people who’d mocked her.
