Morrissey headlines at Hyde Park O2 Festival

Morrisey slams Kylie at O2

Imagine headlining at the 02 Wireless festival, playing to thousands in Hyde Park? Reason to be cheerful? Not so with Morrissey.

Like storm clouds over Glastonbury, miserable Morrissey moaned while singing and winged between songs. He even had a pop at pop princess Kylie's recent OBE. "She's just been rewarded for her contribution to music," he said dryly.

But the fans loved him, and even forgave him when he sang new songs Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed from Years of Refusal. But they really came alive when he belted out old Smiths songs. Vicar in a Tutu and What She Said.

Singing "I am human and I need to be loved", for one brief moment, we all forgave his Mogadon manner and dreary outlook.

It's Morrissey's only UK festival appearance this summer, and boy did he pull it off.

Don't miss more great music at the rest of the 02 Wireless Festival today and on Sunday
