Morrissey chooses death site

Morrissey has chosen the venue where he wishes to be buried at the time of his death.

The former Smiths star wants to be laid to rest in Los Angeles at celebrated graveyard Hollywood Forever, alongside the likes of Johnny Ramone.

The revelation coincides with Morrissey's performance in the showbiz capital on Friday night, where he played a rapturously received two-hour set to 18,000 people.

Speaking about the plans for his body, he said: "I like Hollywood Forever. I've sat there for a very long time and felt quite good about it.

"I've even considered putting money down for reserving a spot", he explained, before revealing what he would like inscribed on his tombstone.

"I always felt I wanted nothing more than my name, birth date, death date and all three names, Steven Patrick Morrissey."

The concert at the Hollywood Bowl spanned his entire career, opening with The Smiths' classic "The Queen Is Dead" and concluding with "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out".

Speaking to the crowd, Morrissey said: "It's been 15 years since they allowed me into the Hollywood Bowl, so thank you for sustaining your interest, or renewing your interest.

"Or if you were born in the last 15 years, as most of you were, I'm very grateful."

Morrissey's set-list was as follows, according to the NME:

"The Queen Is Dead"
"Last Of The Famous International Playboys"
"Ganglord"
"National Front Disco"
"Disappointed"
"Girlfriend In A Coma"
"Let Me Kiss You"
"The Boy With A Thorn In His Side"
"Every Day Is Like Sunday"
"Irish Blood, English Heart"
"All You Need Is Me"
"First Of The Gang To Die"
"I Just Want to See the Boy Happy"
"I Will See You In Far Off Places"
"That's How People Grow Up"
"Life is a Pigsty"
"How Soon Is Now"
"Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
"You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side"
"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"
