They Are the 10 Famous Artists Who Got Rejected By Record Labels

N7. Morrissey

Steven Patrick Morrissey, also known as Morrissey, is a British singer and lyricist. Back in the 1980s he rose to fame, as the lyricist and vocalist of the rock band The Smiths.

The band was highly successful in the United Kingdom but broke up in 1987, and Morrissey began a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions.

The cause of Morrissey’s perpetual outsider status is the same reason that employment offers him no solace: sooner after he does sign with a record label, he finds himself dropped.

He was dropped by Island Records after 1997’s stodgy Maladjusted, only to resurface for a brace of comeback records under Sanctuary.

After again finding himself without a deal, he released the excellent World Peace Is None Of Your Business. From there, things went pear-shaped, with Moz again claiming that his label had rejected him following poor sales.
