The BBC have confirmed that Morrissey won't be getting involved in this year's Eurovision. As previously reported, the singer expressed an interest after the UK came pretty close to last for the umpteenth time running last year. At the start of this year, you'll remember, the BBC confirmed that they had approached a number of high profile artists with a view to getting them involved in the song contest, and that Morrissey was one of them. But he's now definitely not doing it.
A spokeswoman said: "The BBC approached several artists and Morrissey was one of those that expressed an interest. Unfortunately, we were unable to go ahead with him being involved and we can now confirm that he definitely will not be taking part in this year's competition."
So, which high profile star's been approached next? Noel Gallagher?
