Morrissey pulls out of Radio 1 session

Morrissey pulled out of a live John Peel session when he learned it would be performed in front of competition winners, recording a session for Zane Lowe instead.

Prooving all those years hiding in LA haven't dampened his skill for being a bloody awkward drama queen, Morrissey has pulled out of a live session on Radio 1's John Peel show because he found out he would have to perform in front of 12 competition winners. Admitting he wasn't listening when his record label explained the competition component to his Radio 1 session, Morrissey axed the gig as soon as he realised, recording a private session for Zane Lowe's show instead. The twelve competition winners will be given an alternative prize and reminded Johnny Marr was the real talent in the Smiths.
