Twitter
The much-discussed Morrissey Twitter account @itsmorrissey is fake, according to a post from the great man himself. The account, which was opened earlier this week, has collected a stunning 250,000 followers, despite posting on 5 tweets. Its veracity was little doubted due to verification by Twitter.
However, in a statement, Morrissey said:
I would like to stress that I do not have either a Twitter or a Facebook account. I gather that a Twitter account has been opened in my name – as ‘It’s Morrissey’ – but it is NOT Morrissey. I do not know who has opened this recent Twitter account, but please be aware that it is bogus. That’s, of course, if you should remotely care.
Untwitterably yours,
MORRISSEY
