Washington, Feb 3 : Pop star Morrissey has posed naked to promote his new single `I''m Throwing My Arms Around Paris', according to reports.

The former `The Smiths' frontman and his four bandmates can be seen pictured completely naked with their modesty protected only by vinyl records in the artwork for the star''s forthcoming song.

"Morrissey has always had a mischievous sense of humour and knew this was the very last thing people would expect him to do," Contactmusic quoted a source, as telling the Daily Express.

Although, the other bandmates seemed a little reluctant, they finally gave their nod to Morrissey and the photos turned out to be pretty entertaining.

"Some of his group took a bit of persuading but Morrissey thought it would be hilarious. It''s not the most flattering of photographs in truth but Morrissey was clearly more bothered about making an impact," the source added. (ANI)
