Morrissey Leaving Management

Though a reason has yet to be made public, it’s being said that Morrissey is going to leave his management team on the request of his lawyers. After a difficult past year, the singer looks like he’ll be starting the new year fresh by cutting ties with Front Line Management. He posted a statement online saying “Following consultation with my lawyers, I wish it to be known that I have terminated, with immediate effect, my association with Front Line Management (Irving Azoff, Andy Gould and Lil Gary), who no longer have any rights to issue any statements on my behalf. I would also like to stress that I have no association with accountants appointed by Front Line, namely London & Co.” Something smells fishy to me with that statement.

Billy Corgan has hired a new drummer for The Smashing Pumpkins and the new kid’s only 19 years old. Mike Byrne sent the singer a demo tape of his drumming skills when the band made it known online that they were looking for a new drummer last Spring. Billy was reportedly blown away by the kid’s talents and put the Portland, Oregon native on a plane to LA for a live audition. Billy says that Mike “seemed to have that X-factor that all the great drummers have” and the singer is anxious to begin work on the band’s new album because he believes “in [his] heart he will push [him] to be a better musician.”
