Morrissey has spoken of his support for a Tumblr site, which replaces script in original Peanuts comic strips with lyrics by The Smiths, after Universal Music demanded the page be removed from the internet.
The site, This Charming Charlie, stated in September 2013 that Universal Music Publishing Group had made the demands, and now Morrissey has made it clear that he was not behind the request, saying he is a big fan of it.
A statement on fansite True To You from the star read: "Morrissey is delighted and flattered by the Peanuts comic strip with its use of Morrissey-Smiths lyrics, and he hopes that the strips remain."
It has now been reported by Pitchfork that Universal Music are no longer seeking to have page shut down.
Morrissey is expected to release a new autobiography on 17 October through Penguin Classics.
