... André Rieu?

his best since the little boy biting hard into the popsicle.

Morrissey has always had the most enthusiastic ideas when it comes to posing for a picture! This is brilliant and must go on my wall!

so the question is... will this image be the single or album cover?

What a great Morrissey picture! Both sophisticated and humorous.

I like Moz and his fiddle (OK, it's a violin.) Now that's an image I'd never expected to see in my lifetime.

I'm just glad the original idea of Moz in a ballerina tutu was nixed at the 11th hour.

Enjoy the Palladium show oh, patrons of high Art.

You gotta hand it to the guy...he really is a fantastic graphics/visual artist. He sure knows how to get his fans off doesn't he?

Must be the official site now....????

What do you think?

If this is any indication of what the album sleeves will look like we are in for a great year! I truly think this is the best poster yet!

Drop the Y off your name

I love it! Simple as that :)

I think its awful- what is it with props?
Tommy gun, now violin- the only prop he should have is a microphone, being a singer n' all.
Hopefully this will just be to promote the palladium gigs.

It reminds me of "Kill Uncle" with a dash of "Interlude"-- ???

Great job!

I am so happy and proud to be a die-hard Morrissey/Smiths fan.

With love,
Ken

Does anybody possibly know where to find a non cut off version ? Makes a great wallpaper !

Peace Oooot !

absolutely brilliant!

I wonder what sad git is gonna attend thinking it's a classical concert and then run into his 15 year-old son snogging some trannie.

Seeing Morrissey's hands cradling something so delicate makes me weak in the knees.

please try to bootleg these shows for us fans who are unable to attend.

I swear the ticket prices went up before my very eyes.

I also had row 0 and am now wating for row V
And I can't get through (cc details and then CRASH back I go)

GRRRRR

Damn those ticket touts - half an hour after tickets on sale and sold out according to NME, Ticketmaster and See - and all the phone lines constantly engaged!

Isn't that ilegal?Acording to ticketmaster phoneline it syas they were sold out by 9:05.
I just can't believe it.

anyone else feel cheated as always whenever Moz tx go on sale? i have searched a zillion websites (nothing despite promises all week...) and spent an hour trying to get through by phone only to be told they all sold out at 9.15am UK time this morning. Again...

why announce London before the rest of the tour? Wanker

I got through to Ticketmaster at 08:50 and the automated system offered me 2 tickets in the stalls in row N which is too far back for me! So much for tickets going on sale at 9am. Also they are all now slowly but surely appearing on Ebay. 2 tickets 6 rows back for £299! Crap! If they are all going to be like this then it is not going to be fun. There is no way I am going to pay £150 per ticket for every gig. Morrissey may find himself alone at the front with a lot of empty seats.

it's things like these that remind me of why it all started and why I'm here....

I'm in floods of tears - I've loved Morrissey for over 20 years, and he's playing in London ON MY BIRTHDAY (surely that had to be a good omen ... or so I thought). I've taken the morning off work to get tickets, but after about 80 calls and constantly trying via the internet too, it's now sold out and I've got nothing. I'm totally gutted. I really feel for everyone else out there in the same position.

I KNOW people will say it's about supply and demand and the free market, but there are 30 pairs of tickets on ebay for the Palladium gigs going for silly money within barely an hour of the things going on sale. With people that actually want to go unable to get tickets, it's hardly fair is it?

I want to go to the Birmingham gig but I'm not getting my hopes up as I think it'll be a nightmare to get them

I've just got through on seetickets.com now. It's upper circle, but hey!

Good luck

One ad on Ebay is stating "Tickets to see Morrissey on his birthday on May 21st"!

Idiot should get his facts right. Shows the intelligence of these scum. The general consensus I am hearing is that people are just not going to buy off Ebay and they will lose out. I would rather not go at all and just go to non seated gigs and listen to the album at home than make these tossers' day.

First attempt said there were no tickets available.Tried again on any of the dates and I could get through.I got them for 28th of May!!!
Thanks to the guy who posted that they were back on seetickets!!

The Morrissey UKtour is all well and good, but when is this charming man coming to Sweden, the hellhole in which I was conceived and for some reason still looks upon as my home....

I'm in Croatia and managed to get the tickets for 21st through Ticketmaster at 8.58!!!!
I'm so happy to be able to see Moz for the first time live in concert.
Sorry to all the fans who were not as lucky as I was.

I got through on seetickets.com (via gigsandtours) 35 minutes after the tickets went on sale. (Server was just back up and running.) Ticketmaster was a disaster, so were the phone lines. But I'm going, 21st of May!! Now lets hope the post works.

Question: lots of people seem to know where they're going to sit. Not here. I was never asked, and never told afterwards. I've got my confirmation mail, but no seat numbers. Anyone else with the same problem? I hope the seats are any good.

Are tickets for these dates now all sold out? How many can it hold and is it all seated?Not that i wanted to go because london is just to far from home.Looks like im going to have to get up early next friday.

After about 20 years of going to see Morrissey and The Smiths - over 20 gigs and hundreds of pounds spent over the years - I'm seriously thinking of not bothering this time.

If the same fracas happens next week when the regionals go on sale - lets face it - if the agents can't cope with 3 shows - how will they cope with over 20, and we are expected to cough up the best part of £40 per ticket - you can forget it.

Nor am I letting myself get screwed by some shark on Ebay - its just not worth it, I'll wait for the inevitable DVD to come out instead.

I'm going into the Liverpool Philharmonic box office later to see if they are selling hard copy tickets there on Friday - or is it just online sales - otherwise I will have to think twice.

Why dont Sanctuary email everyone who signed up for there mailing list an make pre sale arrangements.And cut the touts out,i dont want to go to london but if i cant get a ticket next friday i am going to be well pissed off.Theres touts on ebay now seliing them for £137 for 2 its an outrage there taking full advantage.What are they going to use that mailing list for anyway to tell us about other bands that are crap that are on that label or stuff we already no like when the album is out.I signed up ages ago and havent had 1 email of them yet.Anyone elce?

There he goes looking off to the left again. Weird indeed.
