It seems anytime after Morrissey has suffered a personal loss in his life, he makes a memorable album. After his musical collaborator Johnny Marr left The Smiths, in 1988, Morrissey made Viva Hate. After the rousing success of Your Arsenal, Morrissey was looking forward with a long lasting musical partnership with former Bowie stalwart Mick Ronson. But sadly, Ronson died of liver cancer after producing Your Arsenal. Two other close confidants died in the same year, and the emotional mourning Morrissey felt he poured into the making of Vauxhall & I.
Rumored at the time to be his last ever album, Morrissey contacted Steve Lillywhite, the producer who mixed the single "Ask" while Moz was in The Smiths, to work on the sessions for his final record. Vauxhall & I turned into Morrissey's opus, a musical triumph from start to finish. This is his Queen is Dead. After all the condemnation that Moz endured during the early years of his life after The Smiths, he finally made an album that cemented his legacy as a solo artist.
