Sick? Morrissey sighting at Gucci (May 30)

i know im not a legitimate news source but i thought you may be interested to know that i had a morrissey sighting today (may 30) at the gucci store on rodeo around noontime. he was on the upper level of the store and signing his receipt. he seemed to have bought a bunch of clothes noticing all the bags he was leaving with and they even gave him a gucci cotton satchel to carry some of his items. he didn't seem in the best of moods. he was wearing designer denim jeans and a black top. his hair was well-manicured and looked to be in good health except for his mood.

      he was in a bad mood because some nutter had been following him around the shops all day making notes of what he was buying and the clothes he was wearing and trying to get a look at his signature on the till recipt.

                    I question whether this is newsworthy, not because of its content (personally, I don't care about him pulling a "sickie" on Kilborn, because his schedule has been truly grueling, and sick or not, he must have been exhausted). However, if this is true, it would be good to know if Moz is well. The problem I have with this news item is anyone can submit such a story. It may be true, it may be fiction, it may be that someone read the "Virgin Mega Magazine" story and decided to do a little creative writing. As a result, this is baseless, unfounded, unreliable. It invites speculation & conjecture (based on an Anonymous source) from Morrissey's fans regarding at a minimum:

                    1) if he pulled a sickie on Kilborn

                    2) whether or not he is ill

                    3) whether or not he is happy

                    4) whether or not his happiness or lack thereof is based on the fact that Quarry peaked at #2 on the UK Charts

                    5) whether or not upcoming concerts are likely take place, based on said health and/or happiness

                    6) whether or not he buys from Gucci which some have called wrong as they apparently sell leather & fur

                    7) ETC.

                    Sources do matter.

                    Let the trolling begin.
