The singer and former Smiths frontman took to his website Morrissey Central to share what he considers as the Top 10 albums from across his discography, sharing that while “in my life I loved them all”, these are the ones “which I am most proud” of.

At the top of the list as his personal favourite is ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ – the solo album he completed back in 2021, but has been unreleased for years now due to a dispute with Capitol.

The album had been announced for a 2023 release on the label, but Morrissey later said he had “voluntarily withdrawn from any association with Capitol Records”. He also revealed that Miley Cyrus, who recorded backing vocals for the track ‘I Am Veronica’ in 2020, had asked to have her vocals removed from the song.

Back in 2024, Morrissey confirmed that he had bought back the rights to the album, but the record still remains unreleased.

Coming in at second on his ranking is his most recent release, ‘Make-Up Is A Lie’, which dropped in March and marked his 14th solo album and first new LP in six years. This was followed on the ranking by 2004’s ‘You Are The Quarry’, 1994’s ‘Vauxhall And I’, and 2009’s ‘Years Of Refusal’.

Also featured on the Top 10 list was 2006’s ‘Ringleader Of The Tormentors’, 1992’s ‘Your Arsenal’, 2009’s ‘Swords’ and more.

From there, he travels up to Glasgow for a show at the OVO Hydro on December 16 before rounding off the run with a date at Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on December 19. Visit here for tickets.

The singer played what had been billed as his only UK concert of the year at The O2 in London in February. He also cancelled multiple shows in the US earlier this year, citing “artist illness” and an “adverse reaction to a prescription medication”. He then axed a live date in Valencia as well “due to sleep deprivation”.

Back in August, he cancelled his Las Vegas residency a week before it was due to begin.
