Then why come here? Move along now.

I'm on my way. Thanks for cancelling me.

It's been quite a journey. I've seen him live many, many times, cheered him on for decades. Spent a lot of cash on all things Morrissey. He's broken my heart by being such a glaringly obvious asshole.

I am not the only one who feels this way. I assure you there are thousands of us! Some of us are even former friends and ex-band members.

Does he still sell signed vinyl at the merch stall and if so is it still expensive?

 

[Redacted]

A fan said Morrissey signed rhis during the concert, he has a video of it too

 

[NealCassidy]

What was written on the shirt?

 

[Famous when dead]

He wrote: Morrissey, Tel Aviv, Wouldn't kneel!, Billy Halop, Bowery, You shut your mouth, 2023, Ta da, Esther Ofarim
Esther Ofarim was the Israeli singer who came second in the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest.

dunno if they are still being sold but if they are I am sure they will still be expensive. They seem to sell well despite the £250 price tag. I wouldn't personally pay that, but can see why it appeals to others. A Hatful of Hollow one would be tempting

 

[The Ghost of Eddie Large]

Notre Dame is great, it’s oddly reminiscent of Do You Think I’m Sexy?

 

[Debbi]

This has been a disaster from day one. The whole tour is going to be cancelled after Dublin.

Why?

I, for one, was pleased to see the return of HSIN? to the set-list (although I do prefer the extended, longer version).

Do people still need to queue halfway through the show for these? I recall doing that at the 23rd May show after his 50th birthday. Missed half the gig for an ugly ass YOR signed copy, which I later regretfully sold anyway!

Do they not sell them in the foyer when you go in? I had to elbow my way to the front of the que to get mine.

A fan gave him the shirt, and he then returned it to the fan?

 

[Juan Dulces]

He missed the greatest chance...EVER....to play When You Open Your Legs in Tel Aviv.

Does he mean "ha ha" because the queen is actually dead now?

Let's shine a little light.
We all know how his lyrics could be very ambiguous.

Notre dame
Notre (fr) -> Our (en)
Dame (en) -> an elderly or mature woman (en)

So, song should not be necessary about cathedral

So, based on your possible explanation, it could be about an elderly/mature lady, who (according to the accompanying video) is on fire. In this 'ambiguity' of yours, any chance that she could possibly be a hairdresser by profession?

 

[tjkomi]

But backdrop during performance does not fit in "old lady" explanation.
