Morrissey: 'Popstars are boring'

Morrissey has spoken of his distress at the current state of the music industry, describing it as "boring".

The former Smiths frontman was speaking to Ian Camfield for Xfm when he criticised the lack of individualism in today's stars.

Morrissey said: "I think everyone is quite boring in music. I can't see any voices who are taking the plunge and risking anything.

"They're padding down the plank and everyone's just lining up and accepting awards. It's very, very difficult for me and very distressing. I can't see anyone who's very individualistic."

The 'Suedehead' singer recently said that it would be worth being dead "just to get away from Victoria Beckham".
