Morrissey's Autobiography breaks UK first-week sales record

Morrissey’s much talked-about memoirs sit a-top the best-selling books chart this week, breaking sales records in the process.

As The Guardian report, the book – aptly entitled Autobiography – sold 34,918 copies in its first seven days – beating any other self-penned book by a musician. This tops Keith Richards, who released Life back in 2010.

Meanwhile, Billboard reveal that the curious decision of making the previously-unreleased book a ‘Penguin Classic’ was a condition written into the contract by Morrissey himself, something his deal with publishers Penguin hinged upon.

Find out some revelations from the book itself here and here, plus watch comedian Peter Serafinowicz sing passages from it.
