Details:
A Shure brand Beta 58A microphone that was stage-used by Morrissey between 2000 and 2005. The microphone is housed in its original Shure microphone case which has a label attached with the word "MOZ" written on it. The microphone was previously owned by Phil Griggs, Morrisey's tour manager and sound engineer. Also included is a passport folder with three passport sized color photos of Morrissey.

The first auction has a (possibly) redacted letter - so a bit of provenance, but there's a whole other world of oddities attributed to Morrissey - all of which probably require a bucket of salt and zero money shelled out.

Which coincidentally, Morrissey then rewrote on a guitar (🙄).

All of the above are the tip of the iceberg in relation to dodgy items.
Caveat emptor.

Morrissey doesn't write or draw nearly as badly as that.
Look at the differences – he's actually a good drawer.

It's clear it's not the eyes. Morrissey's eyes are blue. Neither is his mouth ..... He is a fraud!! Why do they publish something like that? And on top of that, they say I improve it with AI .naaa. It's so obvious it's not Moz!!!!!!Que berretasss
 
provenance on anything can be challenged,an expert on a programme i watched said 95 percent of aurographs on ebay are fake.something like the tambourine even if it was fake would still be a talking point if you had it hanging on your wall.
 
I don't think the hairline is historically accurate. That's roughly where it was in 1997, but he had more hair a few years later.
 
It kind of looks like if Morrissey and Gustavo had a baby
 
These are never before seen passport photos alright. I dare say Morrissey has never seen them before either, because they are beyond the uncanny valley.
 
With the enlarged photo with brown eyes I'm torn between "nice very quiet next door neighbour" who would hold the door open for you, but won't say a word and serial killer nobody would've expected ^^

Seriously, I couldn't imagine why anybody would have passport photos of him lying around...strange, they don't seem real. On the other hand, passport photos often look a little bit off compared to normal photos, but certainly not with the wrong eye colour. Maybe he is a spy 😆
 
Scraping the barrel. This is the kind of junk (possibly not even legit) that should be placed carefully into a plastic bag and dumped in a non-recycle bin.
