Morrissey kicked off his set at the Coachella Festival with the classic Smiths tune 'This Charming Man' -- just one in a string of hit songs by his former band that he played.
Performing in front of a backdrop with a black-and-white photograph of the naked torso of a sailor smoking a cigar with the word 'Refusal' written across his chest, the singer humbly asked, "Does it sound OK?" after performing 'Girlfriend In A Coma'. The audience cheered back loudly in response.
Midway through the set, Morrissey said, "I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it's human," as the smell of barbequed meat from nearby food stands wafted through the air. A few minutes later, the famous vegetarian walked off the stage in the middle of 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'.
He returned shortly afterward, saying, "The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn't bear it."
Morrissey continued on, performing his latest single 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' as well as older solo material and more classic Smiths tunes including 'Ask Me' and set-closer 'How Soon Is Now', which culminated with a loud gong finale.

1) Completely irrelevant since the late 80s.
2) Even backed by Johnny Marr he was only moderately entertaining. A poor man’s Robert Smith.

Beside reading and hearing this guys ridiculous comments over the past 2 1/2 decades it seems the song “How soon is now” is the only one i ever connected with this clown.
He's very lucky. no song, no Morissey.

thanks for defeating Mecha-Streisand. There's no defining genius is there? You just know it when you see it.

I am a vegetarian and I run 8 miles a day. I am as healthy as can be! I don't think people need to eat so much meat. There are so many other delicious foods to eat.
