Morrissey Has “Switched Off” His Email After Soliciting Offers For His Stake In The Smiths

In a statement titled “NOTICE” posted on his official website on Friday (September 5), Morrissey announced that he has disabled the email address he used to solicit offers for his rights to The Smiths’ music and related intellectual property. “The ‘eaves’ business email address has been switched off due to the colossal response to Morrissey’s announcement of his wish to pass his “Smiths” interests over to an investor,” the statement reads. “Although Morrisseys’ love for the songs of the Smiths era will never waver, he is tired of the disagreeable and vexatious characters involved in “The Smiths” business. After thirty-eight years of insults and abuse, Morrissey has had enough. All (or most) of the ‘eaves’ emails will be answered in time.” This move follows Morrissey’s announcement last week that he was selling his entire stake in The Smiths’ name, artwork, songs, recordings, and associated rights, expressing a desire to disassociate from former bandmates Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce due to years of animosity.
