In a brief post on his official website that was headlined ‘Roll On 2023,” the Smiths expat Morrissey said he has “voluntarily parted company” with his label, Capitol Records, and with his managers at Maverick and Quest Artist Management.
As if that weren’t enough to get the singer’s legions of fans stirring, he later posted — under the headline “Miley Cyrus Is a Punk Rocker” — that the “Wrecking Ball” and “Midnight Sky” singer wants to be taken off a song on which they collaborated for his forthcoming “hidden” album Bonfire of Teenagers.

He also posted a playful photo of the two from the session for the song.
Morrissey, the English singer who fronted The Smiths from 1982-87 and has enjoyed a successful solo career, announced Bonfire of Teenagers in a since-deleted post from late October. The disc, which also features collaborations with acts including Iggy Pop, Josh Klinghoffer and Flea and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, now is in limbo.
