Fans are demanding the label release his unreleased album

Morrissey fans hired a plane to fly a protest sign over the iconic Capitol Records building in Hollywood on Friday afternoon, demanding the release of the artist’s studio album, Bonfire of the Teenagers.

Originally announced in 2021, the record label shelved the album the following year after Morrissey was dropped from the roster. In an interview with NME, Morrissey described it as “the best album of [his] life.”

Morrissey also told NME that although he does not believe that Capitol Records in Los Angeles signed Bonfire of Teenagers in order to sabotage it, he is quickly coming around to that belief.

Fans continue to call for the album’s release.

“Now we have stepped up matters and taken to the sky to have our voice heard from above! Please help us get the word out about this indignity and maybe we will get the album released soon!” fans share of the protest.

The album features collaborations with Flea, Chad Smith, Josh Klinghoffer and Iggy Pop. Miley Cyrus had asked that her collaboration be removed from the album due to his controversial political views, according to the star himself.

“Miley knew everything about me when she arrived to sing ‘I Am Veronica’ almost two years ago; she walked into the studio already singing the song,” he said earlier this year in response to the album getting shelved. “She volunteered. I did not ask her to get involved. Her professionalism was astounding, her vocals a joy to behold. Every minute that I spent with Miley was loving and funny. She asked if she could be in the ‘Veronica’ video. I was very honored. She told me that Morrissey songs are on 24-hour rotation in her house, and she had frequently been photographed in Morrissey t-shirts. Miley came into my world; I did not venture towards hers. I was eternally thankful, and even now, I remain so.”

The pop star blames four individuals for trying to cancel his career.

“The campaign to destroy my career was originally led by four male individuals in Britain, each of whom have prominent positions on social media – and they have full unedited access to the Legacy Media,” he says. “At some point, each one of them had hopes of a candle-lit friendship with me, and this did not happen. Their rage for attention then took a different turn. They want some form of Wikipedia mention as well as a future personal Index reference in ‘Who Killed Morrissey?’. Yes, staggeringly, that is their goal.”

Morrissey was once voted the second-greatest living British cultural icon behind David Attenborough and before Paul McCartney.
