Paying tribute to your [favorite musician](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-coins) through cool merchandise is always fun, and the Half a Person Morrissey Candles are a unique way to do just that. Way more creative than a concert t-shirt or poster, the candles were designed by [Black Sheep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-kyoto) & Prodigal Sons and Sean Burford and are available in black or white. Each candle costs $185 USD and only 600 were made to order, so they won't be around for too long.

The Half a Person Morrissey candles will be available to order on Occulter until September 20th, 2011. For you Morrissey fans, these unique candles are unique 9 inches tall and 100% hand-cast beeswax -- a wonderful way to pay homage to the English singer and songwriter.
