Eldritch at John Peel's Funeral?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

If you look at this week's NME (cover date Nov 20) there is a double page
spread of the mourners at Peel's funeral - the thin, bleached blonde
gentleman in shades looks a lot like Von!
Bottom right hand page on the left nearest the fold -

Perhaps someone can put a scan up?

I've uploaded a scan to the image bank to see if anyone else agrees.

Hey, QB can you shift this into JOTD?

Sorry Erudite, I don't mean to take the piss, but really?? :eek:

Hmm, I'd third that. If he was there, he was using a very good disguise.

If you look really carefully to the rear of the picture, you can see von stood behind a grssy knoll with a sniper rifle in his hand.

He does not look like Eldritch to me either, but the thumbnail of the image [currently] at the Gallery's main page does make it easier to see how someone initially could have thought of him.

Any bets on how long it takes to see that image on a Sisters bootleg? :urff:

he's wearing black, that should've been the giveaway that it wasn't Mr. E

Damn, I've been away for two weeks and missed two references to Half Man Half Biscuit. What erudite company.

That guy looks way too healthy to be Von, for one. Von actually looks a bit like Adam Clayton (U2 bassist) on crack...
