Moz Book De-Gayed For US Release

Morrissey's autobiography was launched stateside on Tuesday, but minus the part about his love affair with a man.

The former The Smiths star published his hotly-anticipated autobiography in the U.K. in October (13), and the book hit headlines over a section in which the rocker confirms long-running rumours he had a relationship with snapper Jake Walters in the mid-1990s. The tome, titled Autobiography, details several anecdotes involving Walters, and Morrissey writes movingly of their two years together, but in the U.S. release, which was published on Tuesday (03Dec13), many details in the original book are missing or edited down. A spokesman for the book's publishers had not responded to a request for comment as Wenn went to press.

Maybe the boyfriend complained?
