beautiful and eloquent picture....yet still have an eery-lookin gaze towards its audience(us?) or myb he's really concentrating on the film he's (supposedly) viewing....
still beautiful....a keeper...

Great to hear he's still standing up the press. If you muck them about a bit they'll be too scared of you to give you any crap. More power to you Moz!

And people wonder why we love the man so much...

he looks rather youthful and spritely in this photo, albeit somewhat stunned. lovely picture!

It has a kind of 'Sunset Boulevard' quality about it - the wealthy outsider recluse, quite alone and pensive in his comfortable surroundings. I believe that is the image of Morrissey we'll be seeing now (as opposed to the shy librarian living in Whalley Range) - and a great one it is too.

makes me think of a teenager who has been caught masturbating and now has to sit and listen to his mum go on about how it is such a sin and he should be ashamed of hisself and blah, blah blah.....

It's not that good - he looks crosseyed. I have seen hundreds of nicer pics. I just hope the rest are better than this one.

Any of the images on the singles. Mozzer should hire whoever did this image work for the next album if we are so lucky.

he looks scared.
morrissey baby dont be scared.

Morrissey, please let me kiss you!

anyone recall or have scans of the entertainment weekly feature on moz from '93?

He looks good! Hope to bloody christ he isnt watching gay porn...I'M HOLDING THAT HETERO TORCH FOR YOU MOZZ!!! lol, he's probably watching himself, the egomaniac!

At last a proof that Norman Bates is still alive...

I think he looks completely dazed and uninterested. No expression in his eyes whatsoever. One of the worst photos I've seen of him.

Morrissey is not posing. I mean really. We need a picture of him making a sandwich, or shaving or whatever. I have had it with this mythological pose.

Mozzer looks like he's sitting for a model of himself intended for Madame Tussaud's.

I'm always impressed by the setting for Morrissey pictures. This is definitely the case of the background making the picture - the room and the projector. I like the attention to the little details.

Yes, it's VERY Irish.

I like the post about how he's been caught doing the 'deed of darkness' but to me it looks more like someone's Dad having caught an offspring, erm, at it.

and then....
The Lecture.

Very, very, Irish therefore.

I like this photo very much as a fan but if this were set up as a big official portrait I'm not sure if it captures two essential Mozzisms, being Drop Dead Handsome and somehow a Victim.

Nice, but I'd like to see something other than these moody art photos. He has a tremendous smile that lights up his face so beautifully. I'd love to see new shots that capture his more playful qualities.

Thats a bit cheeky! Whats wrong with looking farmerish and County Mayo-ish anyway? Its well known that the Irish are charming,witty and humorous. Don't be so bloody personal in future, bejayzus!

What does the picture of those other old twats look like, me wonders?

Shame on YOU for equating money with happiness. That is what is sad here.

I WOULD!!!

then you can watch him take a child and make him old...

You are tragically stupid.
Morrissey could earn the inheritance of arabia's sultans, he will never be "happy". All his art and talent is deeply rooted with sadness. Do you understand that? Do you need a drawing, charlie Browne? Do you think he's just pretending being sad while he's not? I love morrissey but, for god's sake, I would never exchange my life for his. Life is very long when you're lonely.

With the complete lack of wit you are brandishing, he probably wouldn't ask you to...
