Morrissey has written an article for a new book on the New York Dolls.

The former Smiths singer wrote the afterword for 'New York Dolls: Photographs', a book of pictures of the seminal glam rockers whose praises he has sung throughout his career.

The pictures in the book were taken by photographer Bob Gruen, who has previously worked with The Rolling Stones, Blondie and Led Zeppelin.
