The archive of letters, written to a Birmingham pen friend, Simon Pitt, who would go on to become the city’s poet laureate, by the singer between the ages of 14 and 20, includes one in which Morrissey says “my ambition is to be a rock ‘n’ roll star or an actor, or a writer”.
To provide well-rounded coverage and a breadth of insight across various events, we rely on contributions from several staff writers, each bringing their own area of expertise to our publication.
