Morisseys influence as a performer, songwriter & cultural icon far exceeds the sales of his records. The living enbodiment of Alternative Guitar Rock, he has been worshipped with a near-religious intensity by his fans, while suffering vitriolic abuse from non-believers. Adored by vegetarians, Mexicans & J.K. Rowling, loathed by judges & a musician or two, here is his story. Morrissey: The Jewel In The Crown documents how he hit the big-time first with the Smiths & later as a solo-performer. It detailes his battles with both the media & the people he worked with, after his big mouth struck again & again. It tells the story of his exodus from the grey UK to sunny LA, & how after seven years hibernating, Morrissey achieved such a triumphant comeback.
