especially since the pictures of the property show an empty house...

So Morrissey's time in Loose Angela is over? "Home is a Question Mark", indeed. What does it all mean?

Funny how so many reports came in at once...lots of people who just happened to be driving by, yes?

In the pictures on Sotheby's, you can see where Mozzy showered and where he made his toast.

So, he's moved to Rome, perhaps? Moz is certainly making some changes, it seems.

Where is he moving, my friends?

Any ideas?

My friend just emailed this news to me it`s so depressing.It`s funny with Morrissey living in the same state I`m in I just thought that I might meet him someday.Looks like I`ve lost my chance.I`m really depressed now.

I feel like I've really invaded his privacy. I wish I hadn't looked.

Quick Moz - write a song that captures how I feel about this.... erghhhh! Help!

Maybe he moved to Detroit to collaborate with Jack White.

El Mozza would paint that town red!

My sister made me a tie with a silkscreen picture of Moz on it. I wore it to a wedding last weekend. Two rude people called me a "loser" and told me that "pop stars aren't the world." Well, I told them that I had just found the two monsters that November must have spawned! They were speechless, and I don't even think they knew what I was talking about!!!

Kitchen and baths recently remodeled with great style.

I might just end up buying this house !!!All I have to do is convince my wife !! .....I might just end up owning Mozzer's house !!!

Especially the one of his bathroom, because now I am imagining him making brown while reading a US Weekly.

He's coming home to pay off Mick Joyce and reform The Smith. New album world tour and then he will move in next door to me and become my friend.

Julia's movin' in!

I just finished talking to Sothebys International Realty and made an appointment to see the house and I had to ask about Moz !! And they told me he already purchased a new home about 2 weeks ago in a private area near the beach !!! I was warned about the amount of people that WILL be knocking at the door looking for Mr. Morrissey as they called him !!!

I'm finding this a little strange.... I thought he really loved that house. He seemed so proud of it on "The Importance...." doc.

Selling it is so ... final. Why not just keep it and get a second home away from home, if he needs a change of pace?

None of you who *happen* to drive around there *happened* to see a moving van anytime recently, did you?

how many baths did he take a day?

"Extraordinary 1931 Mediterranean in celebrity cul de sac above Sunset with dramatic city view. Entry to huge living room with beam ceilings, hardwood floors and massive fireplace. Upstairs master has spectacular city view plus walk in closet and huge limestone bath. Separate guest suite plus convertible media/den and separate maid's with bath. Full Mediterranean charm. Kitchen and baths recently remodeled with great style. Media & projection equipment included as-is."

I wonder if the projection equipment is that old film projector that was used in the Entertainment Weekly photo.

Did he have a live in maid?

Well it's only a metter of time before some rabid Moz fan finds his new house. I already have an idea where it is as there is a very private beach residential neighborhood I used to live by that is basically it's own community and well guarded. Celebrities like Sting, Tom Hanks, etc. have homes there and every house is multi-million dollar paradise. I dated a girl living in it years ago and would marvel at it all (and her)... I think it is very interesting that some of the people here that have bashed Moz fans here over the years for visiting his house in L.A. ended up travelling from far away to do just that... I live a few miles away from the L.A. home for sale and yes I did see the house (he wasn't home) but that was 6 years ago and I have stayed away since then out of respect for his privacy. We'll see how long this lasts before it gets invadeed again ;^)

and we'll be good (I promise - we'll bribe the press this time around!)

But seriously Moz, come home to dear old England, you know you want to, arrhhh go on.

Hi Guys,

PS-excited about the talk of a new alblum and hopefully a tour to follow~

he's definitely moved out... no rubber sheets to be seen anywhere.

This moving, so abrupt and impredictable, is so romantic. Specially if he moved to a house near the beach, with someone he really feels loved by and vice-versa. When I was walking down a street I'm actually tired of seeing, I thought of how good it might be if I could just buy a house by the beach, or just move out. I was jealous for a while. Of the choices money can offer. But then I realized I wouldn't like to live with the reasons that compelled Moz to move - the constant intrusion in his private life, by eager fans, even if this intrusion results from "emotions in their purest state", like he once said. But, who knows what his real reasons were...maybe he doesn't want to be another Norma Desmond in a Sunset Boulevard. If I were his age, I would want to spend it by the sea. Far, far away from the hustle and crowds. If I ever get a chance, I will live in Nice!

i emailed the realestate agent and told him I am interested in purchasing the house but want to know why the "previous owner" decided to put it on the market. he told me "the owner" moved to europe. i guess mozzer got a little homesick.
lol, so naturally i emailed him back and i said "Ive purchased quite a bit a realestate in my day and have found speaking to the actaul owner is always the best bet. could i get in contact with him?" no luck though, apparently he's "already left the country"
   

Dear Jim,

Noooooooooooo!!
I'll check the parachutes, you check the scuba gear, we're going on a mission!

signed,

Stalker Art, Rebel Familia, Craiggers, empty Corona bottles, and same-day "florists"

Well, we'll always have the "Importance of Being Morrissey" show to look back on the good old days. I don't think he ever felt at home in America (just listen to his last CD) and I hope he moves back to England. Everyone belongs somewhere and Morrissey belongs in England. This is a good thing.

I've had no luck. Did they take it down?

And the living room.Gee nice house.

If Moz bought a home in England Mike Joyce would be collecting what is owed to him.. Right? or Wrong?

He did sell his car a few months ago... he must have had it al planned.

Jesus Christo! I never even made it to his house everytime I was in LA! No, I had more important things to do, like go f'n shopping!?!? Err!

DEAR: HERO

I'll Probably never see you Again
I'll Probably never see you Again

I'll Probably never se you Againnnnn

Morrissey Dont leave LA, please please please
this is the closest we've been to you. I know It bothers you when people come by to your home but, its because you mean alot to US, I and many people wanted to LET YOU KNOW THAT WE EXIST!

Many times when we go to one of your CONCERTS only CERTAIN PEOPLE OR THE LUCKY ONES GOT TO MEET YOU. Well at least I admit I wanted you to know that I EXIST. I am 21 years old your music and lyrics, have been very Important to me ever since I was 8 years old.

Since 1998 I never believed that you where living here in LA, so close. Until lot of people started saying that they have met you. Last year I said to myself - Wait a second, I have adored this CHARMING MAN for almost 13 years, and he lives so close, and many people have met him. WHY NOT ME? The Sound of your Music was my companion from ELEMENTRY TO HIGH SCHOOL.
        Morrissey from the time I was 8 to 15 years of age, a line in a Doors song was always on my head. "MUSIC IS YOUR ONLY FREIND"
THAT IS WHAT YOUR MUSIC DID FOR ME

                            Just Wanted to let you know
                                        love always Elizabeth.

hm, i bet nancy is hysterical now.

Morrissey's new address is:
4790 Daisy Avenue.
Long Beach.
CA 90805.

Can't find it... what do you put in as search terms? what's the address?

Finally!

A friend e-mailed me this article on the subject.

Let's see...he crooned "Moon River," he told us in "I Have Forgiven Jesus" that "through hail and snow [he'd] go, just to MOON [us]."

He is ridiculously rich.

He dislikes most other people.

He "could've been Elvis," so maybe he wants to be the next Man in the Moon as a consolation prize.

I guess I would be given Mozzers new address to send his mail that I would recieve when I purchase the house !! Man I cant wait to do the walk through !! Cause Im sure that I will love it and want to sign the papers there !!!

As much as I would fling myself into Morrissey's arms on sight, the fact that we're all speculating on his next abode is terribly stalker-ish, is it not?
Of course, the selfish part of me would love him to move back to England, as the closer he lives, the more chance I have of bumping into him.
However, I hope, for his sake, that he does move somewhere the general public aren't allowed; just think what it's like being wary of stepping outside your front door (and considering the level of fanaticism he inspires, he must have considered the possibility of ending up like Lennon).
Overall, it's a testament to his love of music and his consideration for his fans that he's continued to put up with people hanging around on his doorstep for so long and that he deigns to speak to them. Didn't he once say that he had to move from Manchester because people were banging on the windows at all hours?
For once, could we calm ourselves down, put aside our selfish concerns, and consider that Morrissey is a real person who, from time to time, would appreciate a little privacy.

i was really saddened by this news only because I was going to buy his house by next year, cause i got the news he wanted to move out but i didn't know it was this soon. I was even going to throw a welcome party bash for myself when i bought his house. And all of you were to be invited and it would have been a Moz/Smiths night all night long. Well, screwed for now, but for how long?

The man with the Jacket and pins

Maybe he's moving south of the border?

HA!

i could drive. i love morrissey. i live in l.a. why is it that i never took the time to drive by at least once?

Morrissey esta en Cancun, Mexico. Viva Morrissey! Welcome to Mexico

The news item reads: "I saw on another site that Moz's L.A. house is up for sale. Very depressing, I'm crushed."

I wasn't gonna post in this thread because I couldn't care less if Morrissey sells a house.

But why on earth is someone "depressed" and "crushed"? Laughable.

Oh yeah, because the person is a celebrity stalker. I see many of 'em are out in this thread, giving the Morrissey fanbase an embarassing reputation by misrepresenting themselves as interested buyers.

What's even sadder is Morrissey seems to like such pathetic worship.

I always heard a "rumor" as I put it cuz I dunno if its true or false...but is moz neighbors with....>gasp> Johnny Depp? or is this just rumor if it is true....deng I would purchase this for that alone-but it being moz's house is worth the money isnt it? c'mon folks fork up ur wallets-just think to live where moz use to-HOW COOL! I would give tours!:D

Morrissey is moving back to Manchester, back in the UK where he belongs - American fans think they own mozza just because he lives in their sodding country - he's english and always will be!

It was in timeout - maybe someone can search for it.

I typed parts of it up for Morrissey-solo and the general drive was, "This love affair I have had with London, and have ben living in denial of for so long, has just hit me in the face (since I've been back)"

That's what Morrissey said in the timeout from mid 2004. I suspected at the time he'd be returning to London. It looks like he probably is.

broken

He's buying a place near the beach (as is believably put forth by Gin N Tonic Jil further up) that he will use as his "home away from home", but the real move is back to Ingerlund?

Some posters mentioned the money he owes Joyce (aka The Northern Leech) being a problem, but I thought the big issue was the Inland Tax Revenue tab. Remember the big story on here a couple of years ago from that disgruntled member of Morrissey's road crew that said people weren't getting paid? He mentioned the above a few times...

I think us fans should gather up 2 million to buy moz's old house.

Roger Daltrey on the Stonegate Road near the junction of Spring Lane. Robert Smith spending far too much doing up a manor house at Southover off Spring Lane and Morrissey further along the lane towards Burwash Village. It's just like Stellar Street.

life is hard enough when you belong here :(
