Morrissey

The Guardian is reporting that Morrissey is suing NME Magazine for libel under claims of the magazine portraying him as a "racist and a blatant hypocrite".



The Guardian reports:
Britain's most senior libel judge [...] Mr Justice Tugendhat is expected to decide within weeks whether the former Smiths frontman should be set a high court date for his long and bitter battle against NME over the article, first published four years ago. Lawyers for the singer told the court on Tuesday that he is willing to be cross-examined as a witness if the trial goes ahead. Morrissey is suing Conor McNicholas, the then-editor of NME, and the magazine's publisher, IPC Media, for libel. If given the green light by Tugendhat, the trial would be the first UK libel case to be heard before a jury for more than two years.
