I don't know if this fact has already been presented but the website of the Manchester Central Library has a little article about Morrissey.

Morrissey, former lead singer of The Smiths, once attempted to use the Language and Literature Library for an unofficial photo session. As he had not made any attempt to obtain permission beforehand he was asked to leave by the Librarian who did not know who he was. Morrissey had regularly used the department while swotting for his A' Level examinations.

Incidentally, Morrissey’s mother once worked for Trafford Libraries and tourists have occasionally come into this building seeking to find her here.

I thought Morrisey left school at 16? Or am I being stupid, again?

      Fair enough too for not letting Morrissey take pictures. Library polices must be obeyed. Next thing you know people will be wanting to take the books home with them.
