Over the moon about Alain, but a bit bummed out that Matt and Mando are missing. Always felt that Mando was above and beyond Solomon. And replacing MW with Shakira's drummer feels weird.

And that picture is NOT from 2004. I would say 1999 or so.

Personally I think Boz was doomed once Morrissey thought he had bought into the whole 'Coronaspiracy' stuff. Be nice to see Alain again though.

 

[Harsh Truth]

Very interesting.

 

[A Barnett]

First ever Moz solo concert (except Wolverhampon 1988 ) without Boz??

 

[Phranc & Open]

Strangeways, here we go!

 

[dotmatrix522]

That’s interesting indeed! I kinda saw Boz being out for now on account of travel restrictions but not the other two guys.

1999 I believe it was.
Images from that shoot were used in 2015 (why?) for Arena Homme+.
Not sure where Central's date comes from (much like the Cosmic Dancer mis-dating - I suspect they're not sure either).

Edit: See Joe Frady's images that relate to this below.

1999 indeed. Only the 5 years out, so not too bad for the Moz 'Archivist'

But at least it's a 'new' one. To me, anyway.

Thank you, better images than I scraped together. Edited accordingly.

Quite. í have no idea where they store all these unused images, or how they file them, but it is the way it is.

Couldn't they just call Linder to check..?

You can date a Moz picture based on the sideburns alone. And yeah, this is a new one for me as well.

Also noticed that his belt buckle says Hector in one of the pictures you posted. Interesting!

Well, she's credited with similar in '99 for a Times Magazine interview:

"Heaven Knows I'm Not Miserable Now" - The Times Magazine (Nov. 6, 1999)

Pretty definitive.

Yes Tony. Correct.
Pray for Boz. Maybe? Just maybe ?

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

@Surface you were right, for once.

 

[Trans]

Strange about Matt of being on drums. Don’t know if this will be permanent though as why announce it as for the next five shows etc. hope everyone going is happy to see Alain again

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

But why this announcement?
The only folks interested as far as I know are here at solo. Is it a selling point that Alain is back?

It’s gonna be interesting all around, and can’t wait to hear some new songs.

Hope people get some decent
YouTube vids up.


Also, can’t wait to hear if M says anything about Alain in the form of band member introduction during the show.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Yes Tony. Correct.
Pray for Boz. Maybe? Just maybe ?

Why pray for Boz? He seems happy
where he is and in what he’s doing.

He’s been on the Moz train long enough, and is most likely relieved that he’s (temporarily?) off it.
