Morrissey is offering to sell all his business interests in The Smiths' nearly 40 years after the band broke up.
The singer is set to sell his entire stake in the band, including his rights to its name, artwork, songs, merch, and publishing.
In a statement posted on his website, Morrissey says, "I am burnt out by any and all connections to Marr, Rourke, Joyce. I have had enough of malicious associations. With my entire life I have paid my rightful dues to these songs and these images. I would now like to live disassociated from those who wish me nothing but ill-will and destruction, and this is the only resolution."
"The songs are me - they are no one else - but they bring with them business communications that go to excessive lengths to create as much dread and spite year after year," he adds. "I must now protect myself, especially my health.
Morrissey then instructed "any serious investors" to email eaves7760@gmail.com, although a subsequent post said the email address has been switched off due to the colossal response to his announcement of his wish to pass his "Smiths" interests over to an investor.
