Morrissey
The famously forlorn British crooner and ex-Smiths frontman muses on his last day on Earth.

SO HOW DO YOU WANT TO GO? DOUBLE-DECKER BUS? TEN-TON TRUCK?
Concussed by a coconut.

WHICH OF YOUR SONGS PLAYS IN HEAVEN?
"Satan Rejected My Soul."

AND WHICH ONE PLAYS IN HELL?
"I Have Forgiven Jesus."

WHAT BOOK DO YOU REGRET NOT FINISHING?
"The Toilets Are Closed in Your Honour," an account of the life of Cressida Dick, deputy assistant commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police.

WHILE ALIVE, WHAT DID YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR MONEY ON?
Legal fees.

WHO IN YOUR LIFE WOULD YOU MOST LIKED TO "KICK IN THE EYE"?
That meat-fed horror Jamie "Orrible" Oliver. If he's a master chef, then I'm Miss Brazil 1970.

WHAT WILL BE YOUR GREATEST LEGACY?
Thundering suavity.

ANY REGRETS ABOUT BEING OUTSPOKEN?
Whatever I said, I meant.

WHEN WERE YOU HAPPIEST?
At age 12 I could juggle a plate on a stick.

NAME ONE THING YOU'RE GLAD YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO DO AGAIN ON EARTH.
It will be worth being dead just to get away from Victoria Beckham.

WHAT'S THE WILDEST THING YOU EVER DID WHILE YOU WERE ALIVE?
I took some swimming lessons at the local baths.

WHAT'S YOUR LAST MEAL?
The disease of smallness--tea and toast.

DO YOU HAVE A DEATHBED CONFESSION?
I've never seen myself naked. It seemed impolite to look.

TO WHOM WOULD YOU WHISPER YOUR LAST GOODBYE?
To my very best friend...myself.

    The man is very humorous, cleaver, & witty. No one else on this earth is like Morrissey! Seriously, his last day on earth and the days following that will be devastating. While on this planet, I hope Moz feels the magnitude of just how much he is loved. VIVA MORRISSEY

                Delightful nibbles to whet the appetite for what will hopefully be an extensive series of scandalous interviews.

                Interviews which, by their indelicate candour and wanton disregard for modern conversational etiquette, will shake the very foundations of bourgeois convention.

                Or maybe not.

                    The photo of Morrissey in Maxim is not new but 5 years old.

                    It was taken by Hamish Brown for the NME's Morrissey comeback interview when Quarry was released, around April 2004. They'll have probably bought if off an agency and did the graveyard montage themselves (if you look at picture credits up the side).
