Morrissey in talks over Eurovision entry
Morrissey is in talks to write the UK entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, the BBC has confirmed.
When Daz Simpson's entry 'Teenage Life' was placed fifth last year, Morrissey said: "I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail. Why didn't they ask me?"
The BBC later approached him in relation to the possibility of him penning this year's entry.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Morrissey said that he would be interested in doing it so we approached him and we are currently in discussion."
"Nothing is confirmed and we are also talking to other people. Morrissey would be writing the song for someone else rather than performing himself."
