Description
Book SynopsisMorrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance is among the most successful - and controversial - rock biographies ever published. Having denounced the book and called for the death of its author Johnny Rogan, Morrissey later did a U-turn and cited it as evidence in the royalty-related court case brought by Smiths drummer Mike Joyce. Now, 20 years after it was first published, Rogan has returned to his definitive Smiths biography to produce a completely revised edition based on new information and new interviews to add to the almost 100 initially conducted over a four-year period. Widely acclaimed as one rock's leading writers, Johnny Rogan now brings yet more insight and analysis to his best-selling book that revealed, for the first time, the true and unsanitised story of The Smiths - the most important group of their generation.
Trade Review'A hugely readable and fascinating book - flawlessly informed. A superb achievement.' Q (5 stars) "A page-turner of the first degree" - The Sunday Telegraph 'A bloody marvellous book.' Melody Maker "Personally I hope Johnny Rogan ends his days very soon in an M3 pile-up" - Morrissey
