What controversies surrounded Morrissey in his later years?

Singer-songwriter Morrissey, the former lead singer of the Smiths, faced criticism in the 2010s and 2020s for his apparent support of far-right political figures and parties. Among his controversial statements were calling Brexit (the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union) “magnificent” and making disparaging comments about immigrants and the Me Too movement. His later views were markedly different from those expressed earlier in his career, including in his song lyrics, which criticized the Conservative politician Margaret Thatcher and professed a strong dislike for the British royal family.
