Open Letter to Morrissey from Chris Forrester

How can someone I’ve never properly met have such sway over my life? You’ve shaped who I am, how I view the world and how I make every decision. Am I better or worse as a result? Who knows – maybe without you I’d have been a meat-eating accountant. But I do know, I wouldn’t change you and your music’s central place in my life. You’ve allowed me to appreciate my own strong-will.

All the places I’ve seen following your tours and all the friends I’ve made along the journey. Please never stop touring. Please look after yourself.

Sadly, in this world, perception is real and the truth is not. Love may be on its way out – but there’s plenty left for you from us all.
I’ll defend you till my last breath.

– Chris Forrester
