Morrissey: 'The public are force-fed acts like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith'Morrissey believes acts such as Ed Sheeran are successful because major record labels are fully in control of the industry. The singer told Boulder Weekly that he thinks pop stars are now becoming marketing products. And this means that singers like Sheeran and 'Lay Me Down' star Sam Smith are being "force-fed" to the public. Morrissey said: "There are no bands or singers who become successful without overwhelming marketing. "There are no surprise success stories. Everything is stringently controlled, obvious and predictable and has exactly the same content. So, we are now in the era of marketed pop stars, which means that the labels fully control the charts, and consequently the public has lost interest. "It's very rare that a record label does something for the good of music. Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook. Watch Morrissey in action below:
