Morrissey has claimed that his album 'Bonfire of Teenagers', which addresses the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, remains unreleased due to concerns from record labels over its controversial subject matter. In an interview with The Telegraph, he expressed that the song's themes are too sensitive for labels, which fear backlash from the media, particularly The Guardian. He asserted that the bombing 'was our 9/11' and criticized the societal push to 'not look back in anger' as disingenuous. Despite having completed the album in 2021 and having performed the title track live since 2022, Morrissey accused major labels of sabotaging its release while acknowledging its artistic merit. He remains defiant about not altering the album's content, insisting that it honors the memory of the victims. Morrissey described the current cultural climate as one dominated by 'idiot culture', which he believes stifles artistic expression.
