Morrissey: 'I had a bisexual relationship with a man'

Outspoken performer Morrissey has opened up about his closely-guarded private life in his new memoir, which was published today (October 17). 

The rocker explained that he enjoyed a bisexual relationship with a man named Jake Walters when he was in his mid-30s after they met at a dinner event in Notting Hill:

"Jake and I fell together in deep collusion whereby the thorough and personal could be the only possible way and we ate up each minute of the day. There will be no secrets of flesh or fantasy; he is me and I am he."

He continued: "We managed to parrot on non-stop for two years in a jocular fourth-form stew of genius and silliness."

Morrissey added that writer Alan Bennett, who was his neighbour at the time, noticed that the relationship was starting to break down and told him: "You haven't spoken a word to one another since I arrived."
