Morrissey vs. NME

In a 2007 interview with NME, Morrissey spoke on immigration, stating the "British identity disappears" when more and more foreigners come to London. Moz thought this painted him as a racist, and he immediately took legal action. In June 2012, the British publication issued an apology to the former Smiths singer, saying, "We never set out to upset Morrissey and we hope we can both get back to doing what we do best." Despite saying "sorry," NME probably won't be doing an interview with the Pope of Mope anytime soon.
