Why did Morrissey,lead singer with The Smiths have a bush hanging out of the back of his trousers,whilst performing on stage?
Check out this live performance on The Tube in 1984.I think it is a bunch of daffodils,very strange!!

I really don't know why he did but it always amused me you gotta smile at someone who sings "you're the one for me fatty" and girlfriend in a coma oh oh what shall i do"

Does anyone remember that edition of the Tube when one of the girls in grunge band L7 ended up with a bush hanging out of the front of her trousers? ;)

They were daffodils not a bush, and it was because he was and is a bit of a berk.

I thought they were gladioli ?

edit : I remember now we was waving the gladioli about on TOTP and throwing them into the crowd.

Dame Edna Everage was hanging out of the back of Morrissey's pants?

I thought he did it essentially to honour Oscar Wilde, one of his great heroes?
