"I lost a shoe at the Smiths gigs’
I bought my green Smiths The Queen is Dead T-shirt after seeing their tour, and I saw them seven times all over the UK, mainly in Manchester and Salford. I first saw them live in 1983. I was 15 and they blew my mind. Morrissey and his balletic performance; Marr the king on guitar; Andy and Mike in the background but equally important. The atmosphere at their gigs was electric.I lost a shoe and my innocence at their gigs. This is my second Queen Is Dead T-shirt, which I bought in 2010 from Afflecks Palace in Manchester. I wore it coincidentally the day Queen Elizabeth II died. Over the years, I have fallen out with Morrissey due to his controversial views, but their music and rawness is forever etched on my soul and I wear their T-shirt with pride.
