Morrissey Disavows Newly Purchased Morrissey.com After Political Landing Page Appears

A GoDaddy auction transferred the address for about $11,253 to a new, unidentified owner.

Overview

  • Morrissey stated on his official site, MorrisseyCentral.com, that neither he nor his team has any affiliation with morrissey.com.
  • The domain changed hands in a January 25 GoDaddy auction, with reporting indicating a winning price of roughly $11,253.
  • Coverage from NME and Stereogum notes the singer did not submit a bid for the domain despite the opportunity.
