Morrissey tabloid trash - 'Suicide is honourable and I understand people who do it'
The UK tabloids got a news item landing right on their lap as Morrissey revealed on BBC Radio 4 that he had contemplated suicide before (though not paraphrased like this as the tabloids make their readers believe), and that he considers the act to be "honourable". Speaking to host Kirsty Young, the conversation turned to death, with Young asking Morrissey: "Have you thought about being in control of your death? Have you thought about shuffling off this mortal coil at a time of your choosing?" Morrissey replied: "Yes I have. Yes I have, and I think self destruction is honourable. I always thought was. It's an act of great control, and I understand people who do it." And he continued by saying: "I'm fascinated by the brevity of life and how people use their time, because we all know the actual fall. It's as inevitable as you and I sitting here now, that the Tuesday will arrive when you, Kirsty, are not here. So we all know this fact, and with that in the forefront of our mind in everything we do, I find it fascinating how people spend their time."

In other more cheerful news, Morrissey is working on a leather-free range of footwear with Paul McCartney's daughter Stella so the Daily Mail says. Both Morrissey and McCartney are vegetarians (like most of the UK music industry these days) so the match is not all that unnatural. Having said that, the plans are still early stage according to Stella: "I'm working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I'm really excited about, we are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year."
