Please see the attached PDF (221K) of an interview that I did with Morrissey. I met him in London on 11 December. The interview was published in our March/April issue which hit the stands on 20 February. It will be available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland until 16 April. We've released the current issue with a double-cover showing Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys.

Strutting Rooster writes:
The One Show have been asking recent guests to draw a self portrait to be sold collectively for Comic Relief. One of these is Morrissey.

Morrissey was named onscreen as being in the book but strangely on the webpage he isn't mentioned.

Marianne Faithful mentions Morrissey on AM Show (BBC)
posted by davidt on Monday March 09 2009, @02:00PM

An anonymous person writes:
Marianne Faithfull was interviewed by Andrew Marr on the AM Show this morning on BBC1 - he asked her about 'turning down Morrissey' and she said he had called her up when they were both living in Ireland. She was quite vague but it seemed it was for a joint interview but having writing commitments at the time she said she couldn't be bothered to go to Dublin, and said no.

Yours Faithfully - BBC News video

Former teenage star, ex-girlfriend of Mick Jagger and "nicotine contralto" Marianne Faithfull has spoken about the highs and lows of her life.

On the BBC's Andrew Marr show, she said her comeback collaborations with artists like Jarvis Cocker and Nick Cave were "great fun", and explained the truth behind the rumour that she turned down Morrissey.

Monte writes:
I was looking at Zack Snyder's directing credits (Watchmen and 300), and it turns out he's listed on the ¡Oye Esteban! DVD as directing Mozzer's "Tomorrow" video. No word if Morrissey is really a graphic novel in disguise.
