MORRISSEY FUNDS SMITHS YOUTH CLUB

British singer MORRISSEY has made a donation to a youth club which was immortalised in an album cover by his former band THE SMITHS.

The pop star posed alongside ex-bandmates Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce outside the Salford Lads' Club in their home city of Manchester, England, for the artwork of their 1986 album The Queen Is Dead.

And now Morrissey has pledged $40,000 (GBP20,000) to help restore the building, which has become an iconic part of The Smiths' history.

Club secretary Brian Ball says, "Morrissey and the Smiths made a big difference to the Salford Lads' Club by having their picture taken outside in 1986... it's a marvellous gesture."
