\"Morrissey\"<\/p>\n

Morrissey<\/a> played the first night of his 2022 US tour last night (May 10), debuting his upcoming single ‘I Am Veronica’ as well as airing some rarely played solo and Smiths<\/a> tracks. Check out footage and the setlist below.<\/p>\n

Performing at the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, the indie veteran aired a new song \u2013 which is the opening track from his long-mooted new solo album, ‘The Bonfires Of The Teenagers<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

“It’s very hard to believe in these ridiculous times, but we are about to release a new single,” Morrissey told the crowd. “We hope you like it, and if you don’t \u2013 you must die!”<\/p>\n

When someone in the crowd yelled “I hope it will be a hit”, the singer quickly replied: “It won’t be.”<\/p>\n

Dressed in a suit and bow-tie, Morrissey opened the full-bodied and bittersweet track with the line: “I am Veronica, and the game, the game I play is older than America \/ There’s a tiny spot allocated each of us, so why should each day be exactly the same<\/em>?”<\/p>\n
