Morrissey is releasing his debut novel, List of The Lost, in September.

Publishers at Penguin Books will confirm an exact on sale date this coming week. List of the Lost will initially be available in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa.

A statement posted on the singer's TruetoYou website reads: "The book will be issued in softcover/paperback as a New Fiction title, and comes almost two years after Morrissey's very successful Autobiography publication of October 2013."

The former The Smiths frontman last spoke about his book plans in January, 2014, revealing, "I am mid-way through my novel. I have my hopes."

No further details about the book have been released.

Morrissey is not alone among the rockers who have let their imaginations run wild on paper - Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Jimmy Buffett, punk icon Richard Hell, Sleeper singer Louise Wener and The Decemberists' Colin Meloy are also published novelists.
