Morrissey wins an apology
British singer Morrissey won an apology in a London court on Thursday from the publishers of Word Magazine over suggestions he was a racist and a hypocrite.
The former Smiths frontman, who was not in court to hear the statement, is also pursuing separate legal action against music magazine NME for an article it printed last year in which he discussed his views on immigration in Britain.
Caroline Kean, representing Word publishers Development Hell, said the company offered its “sincere apologies.”
Morrissey, 48, said he was “delighted” with the court’s decision, and vowed to pursue his case against NME.
