Morrissey hits back after Miley Cyrus drops out of his album

Morrissey has hit back after Miley Cyrus dropped out of a guest spot on his upcoming album, denying the pop star had made the decision because of his political stances.

Morrissey has said his political beliefs are “most certainly not far right”, reports The Guardian after Cyrus chose to not go through with the planned feature on his album. 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”.

Last month, Morrissey, 63, announced Cyrus had asked to be removed from his unreleased album Bonfire of Teenagers, The Guardian continued. The song was expected to feature her backing vocals on a song titled I Am Veronica.
