Morrissey

Stars meet up for new album interview. Plus, tabloid-favourite Mr Brand is dropping by Dave Berry's show on Radio X today...

'Years Of Refusal', the new album from Morrissey, will come complete with a very special video interview with Russell Brand. As part of the deluxe edition of the album, a bonus DVD will contain a "revealing" 20-minute filmed interview, entitled 'Wrestle With Russell'. Brand - who's such a serious fan of The Mozfather that he called his cat Morrissey - chats with the singer about music, lyrics, fame and even hair.

The DVD will also include footage of Morrissey performing 'That's How People Grow Up' on 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross' and 'All You Need Is Me' on 'Later With Jools Holland'. The album is released on February 16, with the Radio X playlisted single 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' arriving the week before.
