Morrissey disowns new live DVD

Morrissey has criticised Warner for releasing 'Live At Hollywood Bowl' on DVD without consulting him, urging fans not to buy it as he receives no royalties.

As he so often does, Morrissey has said he's not happy with a new release branding his name. This time, it's the 'Live At Hollywood Bowl' DVD we announced last week, which is due for release on 6 Oct.

In a statement, the singer said: "The slapdash release of 'Morrissey Live At The Hollywood Bowl' is done by Warner without any consultation to me whatsoever, and is in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager. Being Warner, predictably the sleeve art is appalling. It is the work of cash-hounds, and I urge people not to buy it. I am not signed to Warner, and no royalties from this DVD will come to me. Please spend your money elsewhere".

I'm going to buy two copies.
