Morrissey has donated £50,000 to the Salford Lads Club, the institution pictured on the inner sleeve of the Smiths’ 1986 album The Queen Is Dead.
Laura Slingsby, the club’s head of youth operations, told Manchester Evening News: “We are deeply grateful for Morrissey’s generous donation to Salford Lads and Girls Club. His support is more than a financial contribution; it’s a powerful endorsement of our mission and a tribute to the club’s enduring role in the lives of young people and the cultural heart of Salford.
