Last night, Morrissey ended the show shortly before midnight, with countdown following that played and the song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ kicked in to mark the start of 2025. Morrissey stayed on the stage, holding a placard that read ‘Happy New You’, as he embraced the members of his band and Vera Lynn’s ‘(There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover’ played. Fans went crazy for the man and thoroughly enjoyed his performance as he led the crowd to the new year.
