Taken by renowned photographer Kevin Cummins and featuring hundreds of previously unseen images, Alone and Palely Loitering chronicles Morrissey's world as he emerged from The Smiths and established himself as a solo artist.

Breathtaking photographs cover chaotic live performances, intimate portrait sessions and snatched moments backstage and on tour over a ten-year period. Cummins provides insightful commentary on the art of photography and what it was like to work and travel with Morrissey.

The book also includes portraits of fans around the world with Morrissey-inspired tattoos, featuring an essay by literary academic Gail Crowther exploring how this art form is used to display devotion to a unique musician.
