Morrissey's autobiography is to be published later
this month after the former Smiths singer resolved a dispute with his publisher
that had threatened to derail the book's release.
Last month, the
singer claimed "a last-minute content disagreement" with Penguin had
led the deal to "collapse".
Despite
initially saying he was seeking a new publisher, Morrissey has now patched up
relations with Penguin.
Penguin
Classics said Autobiography by Morrissey would come out on 17 October.
That is a month
later than the original publication date of 16 September.
A Penguin
spokesperson declined to comment on the cause of the dispute and the delay.
The memoir is
expected to lift the lid on the 54-year-old's life growing up in Manchester and
his relationship with his former bandmates in The Smiths, one of the most
important bands in British music.
He has enjoyed
a successful solo career since the band split up in 1987 and is also known for
outspoken views on animal cruelty, politics and the royal family.
This year, the
singer suffered a series of what he referred to as "medical mishaps"
which led to him cancelling his US tour.
He was also
forced to cancel part of his South American tour in July due, he said, to a
"lack of funding".
