[Famous when dead]

Full quote:
"Manchester, the city and music of this mystical place shaped my entire life. It is at the heart of all the things I love about music from the Smiths, Joy Division, Oasis, New Order, Simply Red and the Stone Roses. I wanted to make sure this song ‘Manchester’ played first and only in this city I love so much. I hope you enjoy this and cannot wait to be back soon."



Regards,
FWD.

The photo is an homage to The Queen is Dead album sleeve I presume.
He's done a really bad Bruce Springsteen version of Taylor Swifts Shake it off. Enough said.

Anytime someone else sings a Morrissey song it just sounds bizarre and not in a good way. I don't think I've ever made it through an entire cover ever.
