Speaking of his wedding plans to The Sun, Russell Brand has said he has booked his mate; misery-guts Morrissey, the former front  man of The Smiths, to perform at he and Katy Perry’s wedding. The nuptials are going to be a small and largely celebrity-free affair, taking place in India.

Katy Perry said she recently met Morrissey over a nice cup of tea, but that he wasn’t quite supportive of the marriage.

“He’s Russell’s mate and he is fascinating but he was giving us a hard time about getting married. He swooned and sighed, ‘Oh, left hand third finger, don’t do it.’ It was just so eloquent and poetic and like one of his songs,” said Perry.

Let’s hope Morrissey doesn’t fuck it up and make everyone cry.
