Morrissey states that the @itsmorrissey Twitter account is not actually him
Just two days back, Morrissey’s representatives (as well as the official Morrissey Facebook page) confirmed that the first tweet sent out by @itsmorrissey—“Hello. Testing, 1, 2, 3. Planet Earth, are you there? One can only hope…”—was posted by the singer himself. Today, Morrissey has issued a statement declaring he has no connection to the account:
16 May 2014
I would like to stress that I do not have either a Twitter or a Facebook account. I gather that a Twitter account has been opened in my name - as ‘It’s Morrissey’ - but it is NOT Morrissey. I do not know who has opened this recent Twitter account, but please be aware that it is bogus. That’s, of course, if you should remotely care.
Untwitterably yours,
MORRISSEY

Since that first tweet, @itsmorrissey has tweeted a few more times in support of the singer’s current tour and forthcoming album (plus the rather aloof “Follow, follow, follow. Twitter is the perfect metaphor for…something. Dunno what.”), but that’s about all.
Morrissey’s new album, World Peace Is None of Your Business, is due out sometime this summer.
