Young Morrissey letters to be auctioned for £22,000

Letters written by a teenage Morrissey before forming The Smiths are set to auction at Dawsons on 26 August, expected to fetch £22,000. The archive, written to pen pal Simon Pitt between ages 14-20, reveals his ambition to be a rock star, his views on punk, and early band experiences. The letters offer a glimpse into his formative years and the 1970s music scene.
