Posted December 17, 200915 yr Morrissey apologises for album "disaster" Wednesday, December 16 2009, 19:23 GMT By Oli Simpson Source: digitalspy Morrissey has released a statement which laments his recent Swords compilation album. The B-sides collection was made available in October and charted at number 55. Speaking about the LP's performance, Morrissey wrote on fansite True-to-you.net that he thought the record was overpriced. "I am sorry that Swords was such a meek disaster," he said. "It was proposed and accepted as a budget-priced CD, yet emerged everywhere as the most expensive CD in the racks. It was poorly distributed and didn't stand a chance, and ranks as the lowest chart position I've ever encountered." Elsewhere in the post, Morrissey touched on his 2009 tour, which saw him walk off stage in Liverpool after a fan threw a drink at him and collapse mid-set in Swindon weeks later. "Hope denied in Liverpool, and the physical limits were tipped in Swindon – these were life's unfortunate lows," he said of the aborted gigs. "I spent the night at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon where the staff restored my faith in humanity. I had no idea such kindness existed." The singer also confirmed that he is still without a record label after leaving Universal earlier this year. "What does the future hold?" he added. "What does the next minute hold? It all rests as ever on determination – that which springs from somewhere deeper than the body. Record label interest is zero, but the sun will creep back into the room one way or another. It always does."
