Just after 4pm today (Friday 22nd February 2002) I was going about my usual business of doing not much in Marks and Spencers in Altrincham. I was pushing trolleys and such like but as I was gazing around I saw the unmistakable shape of the big man. I swear to God, he was wearing a long black fur/suede coat, blue flared jeans with little white flashes on the back of the knees, black suede shoes and a green checked type Kangol beret. I double taked to make sure it was him but after staring at him for about another 5 seconds I was sure. I ran over to a colleague and she verified that it was indeed Steven. He is now sporting a set of rather fetching square ended sideburns and he was with an older woman, who I would guess to be his mother but can't guarantee that. Within 5 minutes of first seeing him I was now nearly foaming at the mouth with excitement and was telling anybody and everybody who would listen, most didn't listen... uncultured swines. But the aforementioned female colleague was now nearly crying and begging me to go and get his autograph or just do something to acknowledge that we had recognised him. I regret I did nothing, although in a way I'm glad I didn't because if he was out shopping with his mother then respect his privacy. Anyway, I was called away to do some 'Collect by cars' (the M&S shoppers amongst you will understand). I managed to catch a final glimpse of him as he was leaving up the stairs to go back to the M&S car park but with that, he was gone. I consider myself very lucky to have seen him in the flesh, although spare a thought for an aging customer who was heard saying "I didn't recognise him without his daffodils..." Well, quite.

Will Young is Morrissey wannabe? (Score:2, Interesting)
Was it you that compared Will Young to Morrissey in the Metro Newspaper, Scotland on Friday, 1 March 2002:
"Who would have thought a lisping singer with a large chin and bushy eyebrows could top the UK charts? Will Young is obviously trying to be like Morrissey, the original and best moon-faced singer. Morrissey even writes the words and music for his songs, did not have hyped mass publicity behind him, and still only mamaged to reach number five in the charts. I doubt Will will be recognised when he goes shopping with his mother in 20 years' time."

Since when did Morrissey turn into a fur wearing pimp? WTF? Oh well, with age comes poor fashion sense I guess. *shrug*
I do commend you for having such restraint. I'm not sure if I'd do the same thing. That's very cool though. Nothing better than a Moz sighting! I'm still waiting for one.

BTW, not that I object to it, but why go out with a beret on? Is he on a Samuel L. Jackson mood or something?
And you sir, who wrote the message but didn't have the guts to talk to him, made a mistake. You should have approached him and asked about the tour and the new album. At the very least, you should have offered him a discount or something.

Little white flashes on the back of the knee? Flaired, no doubt...hmmmmmm...sounds as though he was having horrific flash backs of when he was a teenager adoring those NY Dolls.
If the sighting is true, I'm really glad that the person didn't bother him and his Mom, Aunt, Grandmother...whoever.
For some reason, I'm just having a hard time seeing Morrissey wearing those clothes. Perhaps it's just me.

He was wearing a brown suede jacket with those bits of string hanging off the arms, tight Wranglers, a big stetson and cowboy boots that almost come up to his knees. As he walked past, I saw he had a Bon Jovi patch sewn on to the back of his jacket.
Unlike the other guy, I had the guts to go up to him and ask for his autograph. Whilst he was writing it, I asked him about the proposed tour and the new album. He said there were no plans to tour just yet, but an album is in the pipeline just as soon as he gets a deal sorted. I asked him what the album would be called, and I think he was impressed by my cheek, so he said it has the working title of "Rodeo Blues". Then he smiled and went about his business, but not before loudly yelping "YEEEEEE-HAAAAAWWW!!!" and firing imaginary guns at me with his fingers.
Sounds like he has a new direction, and I for one can't wait!

I definitely would have gone up and said hello, privacy be damned, sorry Moz. But that's just me, rude you may think I am. But when will you be near him in that situation again?
Great story. Hope it happens to me, or to you again! That's so exciting.
