#RSFans’ Favorite Morrissey Moments
Earlier this week Morrissey announced a massive 33-date tour of the U.S. this fall, a follow-up to his short American jaunt in late 2011. A few weeks ago the singer hinted at the end of his career, saying in an interview that he’s “shocked to have gone as far as I have.” Whether he’ll quit, or the Smiths will reunite, or things will carry on as they have since he struck out on his own in 1988, #RSFans thought this was a perfect time to look at our readers’ favorite moments from the singer’s 35-year run. Here’s what you came up with…
#RSFans Oh, definitely the Top of the Pops bouquet event. Morrissey twisting that bouquet around, instead of lip-syncing into a mic.
