Morrissey then launched his solo career and released 13 albums thus far the latest in 2020. His new album, Bonfire of Teenagers, is due to be released in 2023 but according to reports in the international press, it may be delayed because of disputes with the record label.
The British singer had won multiple awards and is considered one of the top sellers in the indie-rock and brit-pop scene.
