During your week of stay in Mexico City, Morrissey he has become elusive with his fans, who are waiting fervently outside the hotel where he is staying.

A source close to Morrissey's production team confirmed that the British have been in the Country since Monday and that he has dedicated himself to resting and preparing the tour that starts here and will then take you to different cities of Latin America and United States.

"On Monday and Tuesday he met with Shirley Manson ( from Garbage ), as they both knew each other for a long time and talked for a very good time. She gave him some advice on local architecture and design and they talked about the Mexican audience.

"Since Tuesday he has talked to his team about what's coming for the rest of the months and they even showed him how Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns work and he learned a lot more than engagement; he was very interested in what his fans write, "the source told REFORM.

As a curious fact, various people who are on the work team of the former member of The Smiths they stated that they have orders from manager Peter Katsis not to have contact with admirers, so he is confined in the rear of an armored black truck.

"The mission is that they don't see it, because it is distracted, and only two of those who have entered the hotel have been lucky," added the source.

In fact, a follower of the performer of "This Charming Man" and "Everyday Is Like Sunday" rented a room to stay at the hotel and was seen on Tuesday morning, when he went down to the restaurant for breakfast.

"He approached him as he was leaving and said that if he could sign his vinyls, Morrissey said yes; and when he asked for a selfie, the manager said no, that there had been a lot he had.

"Another fan got into the parking lot, in his car, and when he saw him get out of the elevator and get in the truck, he came up to ask for an autograph. Morrissey lowered the glass and accessed the firm, but the manager did not want a photo".

The emblematic alternative rock star, reputed to be pampered, controversial, capricious and of unquestionable talent, comes to give a concert with pieces from her two most recent albums, I Am Not a Dog on a Chain ( 2020 ) and Without Music the World Dies ( 2023 ).

"Very careful of what he sings, his voice, what he does, he only drinks tea at the same time and at night he wears a scarf. He rented some studies in the Colonia Condesa to rehearse, and he is leaving there between 8 and 10 at night. At 12 at night he is almost back because he does not reveal himself. It comes with a jewelry designer, costume designer, and stylist. In addition to his manager, he travels with an assistant, "the person explained.

This is such a boomer take on Google translate lol. It's just one of those things you've read or heard other people say, isn't it? You don't actually know if it's a bad translation, do you? It's just another thing you say that you think must be true because another person said it.

For what it's worth, when translating Spanish to English, Google Translate has an accuracy rate of 94% according to this study - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11606-021-06666-z.pdf.

Other sources say 90%.

In other words, it's ridiculously accurate.

Edit: just realised we could do with a Gordy Translate, to translate his semi-coherent comments.
haud yer wheesht.
 
google traslate is usually gobbledegook and when a story starts with a source said its never going to be reliable.shirley manson was telling M about local architecture,you would think he has never been to south america before.
the artice cant even get what sex he is right,,,from her two most recent albums.
Maybe hes changed his pro nouns Gordy?

He'll take your money, and....well, that's it. He'll take your money. The very thought of having to mix with the proles. Ugh.
Yet he does mix with the 'proles' and is known for being polite to fans.
I’m so happy to hear this. A positive sign. Now, let’s move forward ❤️
My feeling too. This is a real breakthrough; news of the year!

Biography​

At the age of 23 Katsis discovered and managed his first group, the infamous Chicago industrial alt-rock band Ministry.

During the mid-80s while in Chicago, he was associated with the birth of house music. He acted as an agent for many of the young Chicago house acts. Such artists included top names like Marshall Jefferson and Adonis. He organized their first gigs in New York and London, at venues like the Paradise Garage and the Ministry of Sound.

Katsis later moved to Los Angeles and became a partner in talent and entertainment agency The Firm. At the agency he helped the careers of Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, Korn, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Snoop Dogg, One Direction, Audioslave, Limp Bizkit, Staind and others.


In a 2002 article in Vanity Fair, Katsis was described as "the best manager in the music business, period."

Katsis has also strategized the launch of many arena and stadium concert tours such as the Backstreet Boys “Into The Millennium Tour” in 1999. At that time, the 26 truck tour sold a Ticketmaster record of 735,000 tickets in less than one hour.

In 2005, he helped produce the only concert by an American rock band in Castro-era Cuba. The group Audioslave made history and played for over 100,000 fans in the capital city of Havana.

In 2008 through 2014, Mr. Katsis – along with partners Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank – founded Prospect Park Entertainment. During that time he continued his work managing the music careers of top artists like The Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction, Korn, Audioslave, Ice Cube and the Backstreet Boys.

Currently Mr Katsis is a partner at Deckstar in Los Angeles, where he manages The Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction, Culture Club (co-managed with Paul Kemsley), The Joy Formidable, and others.

He can change the controversial songs or record a new album.
Why on earth would he want to do that? Firstly, he clearly believes the sentiment behind a song like Bonfire and thinks it's important. He stands by it all. Secondly, and apologies for using the language of the marketplace, but Moz's USP is he's the artist who says things that no one else will say. He says what lots of ordinary people are thinking but are not allowed to say. For that reason, both Bonfire and Without Music could sell well, a bit of controversy never hurt anyone - but Moz just doesn't sell enough to make a big label want to deal with the negative press that would also follow. Moz is and always was an 'alternative' artist. He never did a Bowie and crossed over into the pop mainstream. But censor himself in order to get a record deal? Are you crazy?

I will die with both of my hands untied...
 
Wishing all Moz's fans in Mexico City and beyond the best show tomorrow night. It's gonna be a great night.

¡Viva México!

¡Viva Morrissey!

 
I'm not sure what benefit Peter Katsis ever did Morrissey?
If he can help get a deal to release Without Music, great. But with Notre Dame being one of the songs I think that is a remote possibility to be honest, at least with any big label. If he can do the obvious, and support Moz to self release Without Music, even better. And then hopefully persuade Capitol to give up Bonfire so that too can be self released. If he can do that, brilliant. I'll be his biggest fan. But not sure what he did for Morrissey in the past that was so great?
I’ve no idea what he might have done for him, but surely having a proper manager, well connected within the industry, can only work on his favour? I’m certainly hoping he’ll help get the records released.

I find ordinary people say exactly what they are thinking, all of the time.
Who's saying they are not allowed. Who by.
You've been blinkered by Morrissey.
His brain washing is clear in your post.
Suffocating in his warped views of what real people in real lives are talking about and doing. Stuff he knows nothing about.
He's a protected, closeted, sham multi millionaire.
Go out and have a conversation with anyone.
It's very much allowed.
 
That Moz brings an image consultant is fine to be banned from wearing those baggy jeans... so uglys
 
Jewelry designer oh how ugly... Beware of the ego MOZ!! . Take care of yourself is good but beware because the fans are the ones who respond to you I do not like ostentation .... please no disappointments Moz!!!!!!!?
