A Morrissey photo shoot at Pestana Palace Chapel and brief interview featured in the magazine (Issue 8, 2014).
In February, 2024 (10 years later), Morrissey Central made a statement regarding this interview:

"The 'new' Morrissey interview and accompanying photographs at Pestana Palace are a hoax. Morrissey has not been to Portugal for many years, and does not give interviews unless at gun-point."
