Morrissey says Miley Cyrus exit was nothing to do with his politics

American withdrew after recording guest vocals on the Mancunian’s yet-to-be-released new album

Morrissey has spoken out after Miley Cyrus dropped out of a guest spot on his upcoming album, denying the singer had done so over his political stances, which he said are “most certainly not far right”.

In a lengthy statement posted on Thursday, the former frontman of the Smiths also attacked “cancel vultures” and alleged the existence of a campaign to “put [him] out of circulation”.
