Morrissey going on 'Kilborn'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Morrissey, former lead singer of The Smiths, is making a rare appearance on late-night television when he spends a week on "The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn."
The reclusive singer first appeared on Kilborn's talk show in September 2002. This time, he'll sit down for an interview on May 24 and will serve as the musical guest that night through May 28. He'll perform songs from "You Are the Quarry," his first studio album in seven years, which comes out Tuesday.
"We're thrilled to have Morrissey back," Kilborn said in a statement Thursday. "His music conveys the loneliness and despair of a man hosting a 12:30 a.m. talk show on CBS."
Morrissey, 44, is known for songs that juxtapose jaunty rhythms with depressing lyrics. His solo hits include "November Spawned a Monster," "Interesting Drug" and "Hairdresser on Fire."
