Morrissey Triumphs At The Royal Albert Hall

Morrissey triumphed at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night, just three days after he collapsed with breathing difficulties in Swindon.

Receiving a phenomenal reception as he walked on, Morrissey launched into set opener 'This Charming Man', the only song of the set at the Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre before he was taken ill.

After successfully getting through the track, Morrissey joked to the sell-out crowd: "Fasten your seatbelts, it is going to be a bumpy ride"

Energetic and looking a picture of health, the 50-year-old dipped into a set mixed with B-sides, solo favourites and Smiths classics.

Shortly after performing fourth track, Morrissey joked “Thank you Swindon!” and later said “the doctor said I shouldn't smile, and I told him I usually don't”.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Morrissey show without one grumble and this came shortly before 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores' when he stated that “not one celebrity chef is vegetarian.”

The set list was as follows:

This Charming Man
Black Cloud
When I Last Spoke To Carol
How Soon Is Now
Ganglord

I'm Throwing My Hands Around Paris
Teenage Dad On His Estate
Nowhere Fast
Irish Blood, English Heart
