+His song "The Laughing Gnome" was played during intermission on the 1991 Kill Uncle tour.
+Morrissey accepted to support Bowie on his 1995 Outside Tour. He stayed on board for two weeks then pulled out.
+Morrissey, in the 2002 documentary "The Importance Of Being Morrissey": "He was a fascinating artist in 1970, 1971, 1972... but not now."
+In an interview to Radionica (Columbia) in early 2012, Morrissey mentioned David Bowie in a list of artists he was indebted to, and that he would like to sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" with him. He also said "David Bowie took me one night to his studio in New York and played a version of one of my songs. I cried for a week. Of anything for what I have prayed in my life, I never imagined that I would be given so much."
+The sleeve of the 2013 redesigned "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys" single was originally going to feature a previously unseen private photograph of David Bowie and Morrissey taken by Linder Sterling in New York in 1992. Although Bowie has no legal rights to the photograph, most of his back catalogue was at the time licensed to EMI so he successfully managed to order EMI UK not to run the proposed artwork.
+In his autobiography, Morrissey talks about buying Bowie's "Starman" single, seeing him live, and the effect the artist had on him when he was a teenager. He also discusses other meetings with his idol, singing a duet with him and having him cover one of his songs, etc.
+=="I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" cover ==
+From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Tie_White_Noise Black Tie White Noise - Wikipedia], a quote from an interview with Rolling Stone:
+Bowie had reconnected with Mick Ronson partly due to Ronson's involvement in Morrissey's most recent album ''Your Arsenal'', which Bowie was impressed with enough that he recorded a "totally camp" cover of the album's Bowie-esque "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday". "It's me singing Morrissey singing me," Bowie said.
+According to [https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-bowie-morrissey-cover-ended-friendship/ "How David Bowie's cover of Morrissey's 'I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday' ended their friendship" - Far Out]:
+It then appeared as if the relationship was further bonded a few years later in 1993 when Bowie took on Morrissey’s own song ‘I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday’ for his covers album Black Tie White Noise. But while the idea of covering a song is often centred around a great deal of respect, Bowie chose this song as a pointed jab at Morrissey.
+The dig came as Bowie realised that there were certainly similarities to his and the Moz song. The coda saxophone arrangement on ‘Someday’ was incredibly similar to that of ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide’. “It occurred to me that he was spoofing one of my earlier songs, and I thought, I’m not going to let him get away with that,” Bowie later said of the choice.
+From [https://www.songfacts.com/facts/morrissey/i-know-its-gonna-happen-someday "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" - Songfacts]:
+Bowie covered this on his 1993 Black Tie White Noise album. On the album's DVD, Bowie remarked: "I always thought of the English singer-songwriter, Morrissey, as a sort of a sexual Alan Bennett - the British playwright - because of his attention to detail. He'll take a small subject matter and make a very grandiose statement of it."
+"His last album, Your Arsenal, was produced, ironically, by Mick Ronson," Bowie continued. "And Mick sent me a copy of the tape and I couldn't but notice that one of the songs on the album - 'I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday' - was a kind of a parody of one of my earlier songs, 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.' And so I sort of thought it would be fun to take that song and do it the way I would've done it 1974ish."
