Caroline writes: Reggie Kray, notorious London gangster and sometime subject of Morrissey's adoration, died Sunday of cancer at age 66. He spent the last three decades in prison, though died a free man after having been paroled in August due to his condition. The other Krays, Ronnie and Charlie, preceded him in death.

      Yeah, he sent a wreath (Score:1)
      I don't know if that question was rhetorical or not, but in response to it, I found this quote from an article in the October 3rd issue of "The Sun." The article was called "Reg In Peace" by Tim Spanton.

      "Those sending wreaths included Barbara Windsor, ex-Who singer Roger Daltry and pop star Morrissey."
