Morrissey.com has been sold at auction by GoDaddy, though the singer himself did not enter a bid to purchase it.
The soloist and former Smiths frontman shared an update in a post on his official website, MorrisseyCentral.com, yesterday (Tuesday February 10).
He wrote: “It has come to our attention that on January 25, 2026, Morrissey.com was purchased at auction. At this time, Morrissey nor his team have any affiliation with this domain.”
As Stereogum notes, Morrissey finally had the opportunity to purchase the domain when it was put up for auction on GoDaddy – “the world’s largest and most trusted domain registrar”. However, the artist reportedly did not submit a bid to acquire the site.
It is said that Morrissey.com sold for $11,253 (£8,263), and the new buyer’s revamped version of the website is now live. It currently displays a photograph of London’s Palace of Westminster, along with the slogan: “I’m not far right, I’m not far left, I’m… far FORWARD.” See it here.
The message on the site is seemingly a nod to Morrissey’s political stance, and a previous t-shirt he previously wore on stage. In 2018, he said he was “neither Loony Left nor Far Right” while describing himself as “a humanitarian”. Then, in 2023, he insisted that he was “most certainly not Far Right” after his past endorsements of For Britain.

“My politics are straightforward: I recognise realities,” he said at the time. “Some realities horrify me, and some do not, but I accept that I was not created so that others might gratify me and delight me with all that they think and do – what a turgid life that would be.”
Morrissey.com had previously been owned by numerous people, such as fashion designer Peter Morrissey and a squatter.
Meanwhile, Morrissey is set to release his new album ‘Make-Up Is A Lie’ on March 6 via Sire/Warner. It marks his first solo record in six years, following on from 2020’s ‘I Am Not A Dog On A Chain’.
He has already previewed the forthcoming project with its title track and his latest single, ‘Notre-Dame’. The studio version of the latter song notably omits a controversial lyric relating to terrorism that he sang live.
Morrissey is scheduled to play his only UK gig of the year at The O2 in London on February 28, as part of his European tour. Find any remaining tickets here. He recently cancelled some shows in the US, citing “artist illness”.
In 2025, Morrissey said he was “burnt out by any and all connections” to his ex-Smiths bandmates. He wrote that he had “no choice but to offer for sale all of his business interests” in the band to any potential investors or parties.
However, he stopped accepting applications shortly afterwards, following a “colossal response”.
