I guess the real fun and conversation is over at the forums. See you there...if you dare.

Missed a photo-opp if true. Which I somehow doubt. More likely off to Dubai for some winter sun with footy mates? Connecting flight?

I wonder what the reaction at Riyadh/Mecca/Medina would have been to his Cross-Worshipping Catholic Priest dog-collar costumery?

Maybe he's about to convert to Islam and do an album with Cat Stevens, I mean Yusuf Islam!

What's 'Morrissey' in Arabic?

Am I really reading/posting this or have I slipped into a parallel reality after watching E at Birmingham Town Hall?

Of course, in a related iteration of reality, I am Morrissey who is E who is Mooney. And we are all a collective mass on-line hallucination.

'His Dark Materials' indeed.

This 7.5% Zeppelin cider is good stuff! And cheap.

That the only evidence that he was going to Saudi Arabia was his response to a fan being nosey enough to ask him where he was off to. Wouldn't you fob off someone who collared you at an airport?

I don't think the glasses are a prop anymore. But the airport looks a bit like Heathrow. He looks disguished and even though he's slightly smirking for the camera, he continues to look better and better with age.

Perhaps he was off to the Saudi Sausage Festival. Thats always a good craic. Me and Billy try to get there for at least 3 or 4 days.

Nice Nicholson glasses, Moz. BYW- check out Nicholson's new political ad for Hillary. Regardless of what side you are on, you'll find the ad funny.

Is that really Manchester Airport?..... Oh Morrissey looks beautiful wearing glasses. Bless him, he's wonderful.

a song with a "mystery musician"

...he's so adorable and this pic reminds me how much I absolutely love him. What a lucky person who got to take his pic! Morrissey looks stunning in those fabulous glasses.

Yes he is older, but he will always be cute.

Moz needs a new look. The frappuccino glasses are passe.

He looks like Daphne from Scooby Doo...hung over.

BTW, does anyone have that picture of Morrissey from around 2004 where he is sitting next to Boz on their tour bus, and it looks like his face is melting?

It certainly qualifies as the worst, and perhaps the most bizarre Morrissey picture ever taken.

Did Julia follow him to Saudia Arabia?

Me Dad is 63 and he look younger than that!

But that's your dad. This is Morrissey. Completely different person. There might be millions of people that are the same age as Morrissey yet look younger, it means nothing.

where the winners get killed, cooked, and eaten.

(I've been there, this really happens.)

I hope he has a good time!
Maybe he's going to find out/decide if he wants to go to play there.
Lucky the one who took the photograph!!! I would ask him for a hug instead of taking the photo! ;)

about town. Mmm, wherever you are, I do hope you're singing now, Moz...

Thank you & Cheers to lucky lisp, Jukebox Jury, Uncleskinny & Grim O'Grady. Well done, team!! This is the best example of fans getting together and using this site for what it's meant for! Does anyone other than me remember having to wait for upcoming issues of fanzines in order to see & read about great stuff like this? It's wonderful to be in the age of technology (and using it for community and our common Moz-love). Thanks, you guys, and Thank you, David T!

My heart just skipped several beats.

There's a presence about Morrissey that goes way beyond the argument over whether the man can be considered good looking vs niche pin-up or old vs young for his years. He simply demands to be looked at by his very demeanor. Not to mention the fact that his personality shines through the camera lens. Something quite rare in these troubled times of cultural vacancy.

Personally I think he looks very good for his age, especially in a sanitised world of botox and surgery where you must be ironed, plucked, bronzed and dipped in formaldehyde, or you're simply unpalatable. It especially vexes me that, despite the media claiming to represent ordinary, healthy people, the message women continue to receive about beauty is one of a George A Romero extra meeting an unfortunate accident with a vat of furniture wax and a bottle of bleach. Due to aggressive marketing techniques men are also succumbing to such trends; anorexia and steroid abuse has increased amongst young men in Britain, and I'm aghast at the number of male beauty products, something that was unthinkable a decade ago. Not to mention this drive to be as hairless as possible. Few women want gorillas, but we like a bit of something that signifies a man has hit puberty... plus the friction stops one from sliding off during more intimate moments.

So thank heaven for Morrissey, captivating for a face that looks as though he knows what life is about and a voice that tells you he really does. If he were in a lineup for potential dates I don't think there'd be any other celebrity that would cause me to hesitate in picking him out.

He won't find one there.

I guess he's gotten over his fear of flying...?

Looks like Harry Caray is back from the grave....

Yes its definitely Mozza at Manchester Airport departures,near the tax free duty shop,and Aston Martin car comp stand..i know this because i work there in security.Yes he could be off to Saudi or other places.... you see,Delta,Continental,US Airways go to America..or Air France,KLM go to France and then to the USA.Then you have Emirates,Qatar or Saudi go to the Middle East or Asia or Australia..or maybe he just went to spain on First Choice/Thompson..who knows? All i know is it was my day off work and i walk around that place everyday,and i will never ever meet the greatest musical artist to ever walk on this planet...gutted,FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT...THIS TIME.

And he wasn't going to saudi fucking arabia you gullible bellends.

Man, he looks refreshed in this pic.

Come back to the US Moz.

We miss you.

P.S. Please leave Julia behind.

Why, thank you.

I really must buy one of them there swearing dictionaries.
