I just happened upon this recent live footage of Morrissey performing in Las Vegas. I thought I’d be reacting to his vocal performance but that’s the least interesting thing about this video!

Not only has Justin never seen Morrissey live, but it’s pretty clear he’s never even seen I live video of him until now. Fans rushing the stage to touch him happens at literally every show. And the fact that (A) there are no stage barriers, and (B) the security guards have clearly been told to gently escort them away shows that Morrissey enjoys this kind of fan adoration. I remember the first time I saw him in Los Angeles. The crowd went crazy and started rushing the stage and I thought “bloody hell, this is like Beatlemania. Only it’s over a guy who’s in his mid 40’s”.
