Morrissey has stopped watching the news and now, he's decided to stop doing print interviews. After the fallout from last week's interview with the German press, last night at his show in Chicago Morrissey told the sold out crowd he will no longer do print interviews. He then said "unless you see the words form in my mouth and then you see the words, or hear the words come out of my mouth...please, if you don't see that, I didn't say them."

Morrissey stopped doing live interviews in 2007 after his famous libel incident with New Musical Express. Morrissey sued NME for libel and eventually the two parties settled out of court. Part of the terms of the settlement included a public apology from NME. At that point Morrissey vowed to stop doing live interviews and would only consent to interviews if he was emailed the questions and he could write out his responses, however over the last few years Morrissey started doing select live interviews again. Those days are over once again.
My friend caught video of him talking about the recent interview. He said it would be the last print interview he’d ever do... #Morrissey #Chicago pic.twitter.com/6rwDnlngmg— Steven Ⓜ️ (@BeardedSteven) November 26, 2017
