A statement on the Morrissey website True To You read: "It is understood that Warner Music in London are releasing a Smiths Greatest Hits album in the final quarter of 2008. This release is without Morrissey's approval or involvement."
Additionally, Morrissey responded to the news of release delays for his upcoming record Years Of Refusal, revealing that he is without a US label after his relationship with Decca US disintegrated over his solo hits compilation.
The statement continued: "At the wish of Universal Music, Years Of Refusal has been put back to a February 2 release.
"There is also, at this stage, still no US label for the album since Morrissey withdrew from Decca US after their poor promotion for the Greatest Hits release."
