Ex-Smiths frontman had joined ie:music in May
LONDON -- Morrissey has split with creative person management firm ie:music after three months. An ie:euphony spokesman confirmed that it had parted company with the ex-Smiths frontman, merely declined to give any details.
Morrissey united ie:music in May, following his split with previous managing director Merck Mercuriadis, ex-CEO of the now defunct music company Sanctuary U.S.
Other acts managed by ie:music, which is run by Tim Clark and David Enthoven, include Robbie Williams, Craig Armstrong and Sia.
It's been a tumultuous past tense couple of months for Morrissey. First, his realised new album, "Years of Refusal," was bumped from a fall release to Feb. 2 by Universal for unspecified reasons. No U.S. label is on board for the project.
Then, former label Warner Bros. announced the release of a "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" DVD, which the artist blasted as being through "without whatever consultation to me whatsoever, and in breach of their terms as set out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager."
And last week, manufacturer Jerry Finn, who had worked on "Years of Refusal," passed away after suffering a massive brain hemmorhage in July.
