British Singer Morrissey Rumored To Call It Quits After Release Of New Album

London, England (CNS) - British singer and lyricist Morrissey may call it quits after he releases his latest album Years of Refusal. In an interview with Filter magazine, Morrissey, whose real name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, speculated the end of his professional career could be near.

"I don't want to go on much longer, really," he told the magazine.

"I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also. There has to reach a point where you've said enough, I think," the singer added.

The full interview appears in the issue of Filter that hits newsstands in February. Meanwhile the singer also revealed details about the first single to be released from his highly anticipated forthcoming album.

"I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" is set to be released on February 9 and will be available in three formats: 7-inch vinyl; a two-CD set; and digital download, NME reports.

The single will be part of the new album, Years of Refusal, which is due out February 17 in the U.S. and February 23 in the U.K.
