According Boorer's latest IG post the single will be available at HMV and according to unconfirmed reports, the release will include three previously released instrumentals on the b-side. No official info on the release has been announced by The Smiths, Morrissey, Johnny Marr, or Warner Brothers. View Boorer's IG post down below.
UPDATE (6/14): The Smiths are now teasing the release on social media.
