Rocker Morrissey has posted an open letter about a fan named Margaret Dale, who apparently committed suicide recently.

The piece was uploaded to official fan site, True to You, and sees the 'Meat is Murder' singer praise Dale for being such a devoted fan and "woman of action":

"I did not know Margaret on a personal level, but she was always there on the front row - the UK, the US, Israel - wherever we'd go, she'd go. Last week Margaret drove behind the tour bus all the way from Davis to Seattle, and managed to get onstage at Davis. I had signed her arm and it was now a tattoo. This week she is dead."

"I can only hope, for Margaret, that death yields the profit of rest, and somehow provides her with a listener. We all weary of living in the same skin day after day, in a world where only the blandly trivial are allowed to be heard, but there is nothing wrong with taking your destiny into your own hands, just as there is nothing wrong in understanding what is meant for you and what isn't."

Morrissey then hit out at the press for reporting on stories he finds to be unimportant, adding: "Meanwhile, on today's AOL News Page, headlines tell us that Victoria Beckham has reportedly dropped her 'fake' look, and William and Kate are in search of yet another home - the constitutional frigidity of a media world now openly obsessed with zombies and morons."
