Music fans have queued throughout the night with sleeping bags to get the best spot at a Morrissey gig this evening.
Fans arrived at the Apollo, on Stockport Road near Manchester city centre, from 9.30pm last night - almost 24 hours before he's set to take to the stage. Morrissey, the ex-Smiths frontman, is playing a rare hometown show at the venue, which has sold out.
Originally from Stretford, Morrissey has legions of devoted fans — and has since he partnered up with Johnny Marr, Mike Joyce, and Andy Rourke to form The Smiths in the early 1980s. After a successful few years together, the band split at the end of the decade and ‘Moz’ went solo.
