Morrissey has made two televised appearances. First he was interviewed by broadcasting legend Larry King for his online Larry King Nowshow.

Update:Pitchfork reports that a representative for Morrissey has given them the following statement: "Morrissey had nothing to do with this. As long as there was no sound bleed, Morrissey was completely fine with another show going on inside the same complex." After getting mobbed by fans onstage as his performance in San Jose, things got even weirder last night during Morrissey's newly launched North American tour. More

Coachella 2009 kicked off with strong sets from living legends Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney, as the crowd adjusted to a desert heat that was forecasted to get even hotter as the weekend went on. More
Morrissey is one of those artists now—inarguably not in his peak era, still adored by an (incredibly, near-sycophantically) fervent fanbase, and still cranking out music with some degree of a predictable pace. He's one of those living legends, to some degree, iconic of an older form of popstar, iconic of an era of alternative and college radio to which many contemporary bands are indebted. More
