Morrissey is set to release a cover of Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love" as a digital download on December 2nd. The cover is a live recording taken from Morrissey's November 25th, 2011 show at the Chelsea Ballroom at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.  According to True To You, the song will also get a physical release in January (date TBA) as a heavyweight 12" disc and 7" picture disc supported by additional live tracks.

Here's fan filmed video of that November 25th, 2011 performance in Vegas



Morrissey previously paid tribute to Reed after his passing on October 27th and released the following statement:

"No words to express the sadness at the death of Lou Reed.  He had been there all of my life.  He will always be pressed to my heart.  Thank God for those, like Lou, who move within their own laws, otherwise imagine how dull the world would be.  I knew the Lou of recent years and he was always full of good heart.  His music will outlive time itself.  We are all timebound, but today, with the loss of liberating Lou, life is a pigsty."
