Hi,

New pictures have been updated in the famous cemetery in Paris, « Le Père Lachaise » on Morrissey music.com.

Moz has been taken in front of the French’s grave writer Colette, and in front of Oscar Wilde’s grave.

Damned, I waited for a long time on Sunday !! I think Moz came in the morning!! I saw the cat but not him !

          The photos are beautiful. I notice the photographer's name is Helen Knox: is this his girlfriend Helen that rainymoz was alluding to on the message board -- the one he's said to be in a serious relationship with?

          Voltaire is buried there - he is so much cooler than Oscar Wilde

          Is that the place where Jim Morrisson is buried - he is brutally overated

          These pictures suck.
          Where's the close-up of Moz at Oscar Wilde's grave?
          Where's a close-up, period?
          Nice that Moz likes kitties, though.

          Was there a rumor that Moz is in serious relationship with this woman?

          Is this the same Helen Knox that's a sexual therapist in England, winning at the Erotic Awards, and writing all those sex books?

          Your timing is impeccable too since to-day marks the 104th anniversary of dear Oscar's passing.

          These photographs are wonderful - they seem to capture something that other ones often do not - although the Hyde Park ones are slightly surreal to me, for some reason.

          The pictures of Moz in front of Oscars grave are beautiful. I have photos of myself in fromt of Oscar Wildes tomb taken in 1999. I spent 7 hours in Pere Lachaise and still only saw about a quarter of the site. I sat on Jim Morrissons grave (Security guard permantly there).
          Moz sitting beside Oscars tomb is a return of a living soul to a past identity.

          Not as many lipstick kisses on Oscar as when i was there....and of course there's the obligatory cemetery cat. I'd like a photo of Moz with Edith Piaf, too!

            Sad place.. (Score:1)
            when I visited a couple of years ago I found the whole place quite sad. The lack of respect people had for the place was disgusting with the rubbish and graffiti. Scrawls over peoples tombs indicating the way to Morrisons grave ('Lizzard King this way') and someone had chisled a big chunk from Oscar Wildes tomb (the penis from that winged thing Moz is sat under).

                I wrote a letter to Morrissey from Oscar Wilde's grave the morning of the Zenith concert, and took photos of Oscar and Ms Collette's graves. It's lovely to see him sitting there in the sunshine!

                I don't think this pictures were taken on sunday. The weather was too bad then. I myself took a photo on monday (on the lookout for Mr. Morrissey, I admit) carrying the yellow flower you can spot in the back. A pitty I didn't catch him, though at least the horrible fences surrounding Oscar Wilde's grave were gone.
