Morrissey is one of the most popular indie rock artists of today, and he proved that over the weekend.
The 60-year-old British singer performed 22 songs before a crowd at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois on Saturday. Morrissey — who was born Steven Patrick Morrissey — showcased covers from artists like Melanie and The Pretenders but also performed some of his own material.
Morrissey also performed songs from The Smiths, the band he previously served as frontman for.
