"It's not much of a surprise to discover that Morrissey had a close and complicated relationship with his mother. The formidable Mrs Dwyer (she reverted to her maiden name after a messy divorce from Morrissey's father) was a librarian who retired when her son found success in order to help manage his affairs. She introduced him to Oscar Wilde, sparking an infatuation that has lasted for decades. Morrissey stayed with her until his early twenties (he once revealingly remarked: "If you're still living with your parents at 19, you're considered some club-footed bespectacled monster of repressed sexuality – which is in every case absolutely true!")." -The Independent, UK
