Morrissey's long-awaited autobiography is coming out later this month just weeks after the former Smiths' star claimed he had abandoned plans to publish it.
The book, simply called Autobiography, will be published by Penguin Classics on October 17 and will also be available as an ebook.
The singer said last month he had pulled the book after what he described as "a last-minute content disagreement" with Penguin.
The memoirs, which could lift the lid on his upbringing in Manchester and his relationship with former songwriting partner Johnny Marr, will be eagerly read by his devoted fans.
Morrissey, who is a prominent vegetarian, recently donated £10,000 to an anti-foie gras campaign after being paid the money by Channel 4, which had used one of his songs without permission in an advert for a Gordon Ramsay show.
It is unusual for a newly published book to be part of the classics range, which includes authors such as Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy and Emily Bronte.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
