Rodger replied<\/a>, \u201cThe artist who did backing vocals will be taken off and replaced. That takes time, especially as you hit Christmas. When you say fight, sadly it doesn’t work that way. The other label, Columbia, legally blocked it. They’re within their rights to do so.\u201d<\/p>\nCapitol has repeatedly declined comment about the situation from SPIN<\/em>, and Morrissey is not currently listed on the label’s artist roster page.
