Morrissey to release Lou Reed cover next month

Morrissey will pay tribute to Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed next month, releasing a cover of one of the late musician’s most-loved tracks.

Moz, who recently released an autobiography on Penguin Classics, will pay tribute to Reed with a rendition of “Satellite Of Love” from his 1972 album, Transformer.

The track was recorded live in Las Vegas during November 2011. It’ll come out as a digital download on 2 December, as well as a 7″ picture disc, 12″ heavyweight vinyl.
