Video info in NME; Morrissey interview next week

Video info in NME
"Nul Points For Morrissey"

While in Rome, morrissey recorded the video for his long-awaited comeback single, 'You Have Killed Me' which is out on March 27.

The video is a satire on the Eurovision Song contest, of which the Mozfather is something of an expert: 'The idea came from the Eurovision Song Contests from 1969 to 1974,' he told NME, 'on which I could sit for Mastermind'.

Morrissey is now concentrating on preparing for his forthcoming UK tour, which will visit towns across the country.

'Wherever Ken Dodd goes, I go,' Morrissey joked. '[I wanted] to prove that everywhere counts- even London.'

The tour includes 4 nights in different Manchester venues- a city that he didn't play for years before making his homecoming in 2004.

'I didn't ever stop loving Manchester, althought the local media for a long time had me down as a Moors Murderer,' he said. 'As a matter of fact, I've never murdered a moor.'
The article is accompanied by a slightly naff photo of Moz, on set wearing a white suit and a black shirt.

      Does not appear that Alain Whyte is in the video. Does this mean he will not be touring as well?

                Nor is he touring.

                The situation has changed more than you think.

                Alain and Morrissey are still collaborators and friends, but Jesse is now the main man co-writing wise. Alain wants to concentrate on Red Lightning.

                It does open up possibilities for a variety of future collaborations.

                            i take it this is a still from the vid. he looks fantastic. i can't stand all his ill-fitting check sports jackets etc. i quite like his white tie violin pic for the album but all the other publicity shots are pretty poor i feel.

                            am i mad/a closet menswear assistant or does that white jacket actually fit him properly whereas most garb he's been seen in recently doesn't??

                            he looks rather like bryan ferry to me. but i fear this all meant to be satirical - this means my aesthetic is stuck circa 1972 (i am not ashamed)

                            meanwhile i'm afraid the denim stuff on the cover looks pretty mutton-dressed-as-lamb. is he trying to appeal to nme's edgy young readers?

                              Right with you on the white suit; studied naffness it may be, but it knocks the offstage jackets-of-late into a cocked hat.

                            Boz Boorer and Jesse Tobias are the only two guitarists that Morrissey needs to play on stage, as well as collaborate with.

                            Don't get me wrong, I love Alain's work and the wonderful songs he has contributed to, but I'd like to see him move on with his Red Lightning project.

                            Not only will it be better for Alain, but also for Morrissey. Morrissey will be working full-time with his new collaborator (Jesse), and Alain will be able to focus completely on his own project, and hopefully have great success.

                              "Comeback single"? What's that shite all about? His comeback singles was in 2004 with the issue of 'Irish Blood, English Heart'. 'You Have Killed Me' is not a comback single. I think he would need to be away for five or six more years before having another comeback. What's next? Will the new issue of NME be their "Comeback Issue"? Morrissey still does not get respect.
