A judge has ruled that singer Morrissey has grounds to sue the IPC music magazine and its former editor, Conor McNicholas regarding an article published including his reported views on immigration.

Mr. Justice Tugendhat made the decision based on claims of “character assassination” brought forward by Morrissey’s management and legal teams. The singer says his reputation has been damaged ever since the interview was released.

An NME spokesperson said: "NME recently sought to strike out Morrissey's claim on grounds of a lengthy delay. After almost four years, we are glad that the matter will now proceed to trial and we will finally get the opportunity to bring this matter to a close."

In the 2007 interview, headlined “Big Mouth Strikes Again”, Morrissey was alleged to have made a series of controversial comments on immigration, including the quote: "The gates of England are flooded. The country's been thrown away??? Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher influx into England, the more the British identity disappears."

The article was credited “interview Tim Jonze / words NME”.
