Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), known as Morrissey, is an English singer and lyricist. He rose to prominence in the 1980s as the lyricist and vocalist of the band The Smiths. The band was highly successful in the United Kingdom but broke up in 1987, and Morrissey began a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions. His first solo album, 1988's ''Viva Hate'', entered the UK albums chart at number one. Widely regarded as an important innovator in indie music, Music magazine ''NME'' considers Morrissey to be "one of the most influential artists ever", while ''The Independent'' says "most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status he has reached in his lifetime". In 2004, Pitchfork Media called him "one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last twenty years". Morrissey's lyrics have been described as "dramatic, bleak, funny vignettes about doomed relationships, lonely nightclubs, the burden of the past and the prison of the home." He is also noted for his unusual baritone vocal style (though he sometimes uses falsetto), his quiff haircut and his dynamic live performances. Media controversies have been abundantly detonated by his forthright and often contrarian opinions, and he has also attracted media attention for his advocacy of vegetarianism and animal rights.
