Morrissey blasts McCartney knighthood
The outspoken, Anti-royal singer said he would never accept such an accolade.
Eighties singer Morrissey is not really known for hiding his feelings, so it will come as nosurprise to know he has once again been letting rip - this time against former Beatle Paul McCartney and his acceptance of a knighthood.
The anti-royal star has always maintained that he would not accept a knighthood should it be offered to him by the Queen, as he sees it as another way of making unruly celebs “fall into line.”
When talking to a reported for ZulaMuzik about McCartney’s acceptance of the honour, which he called “fabulous”, Morrisey told them, “I think it's silly because she isn't fabulous, and it was Paul McCartney who once sang Give Ireland Back To The Irish, directed at the Queen. She didn't give the six counties back to Ireland and she never will because she wants the ports. That isn't fabulous to me.
"Obviously, when anyone is made 'Sir' or given a royal gong, it quietens them down and they trot into line. I am proud of David Bowie for refusing a knighthood. Albert Finney also refused. The British royals are not royal to me. They are cunning parasites, and it's quite breathtaking that the Queen has gotten away with it for so long."
Well, someone’s just been struck from the Christmas card list.
