First no Lollapalooza, and now no Morrissey tour. And I had really hoped there was going to be one. Ah, well, I guess I can console myself with the fact that he probably wouldn't have stopped in Ohio anyways.

Well, I'm off to go sit in a dark room and sob.

If this bit of news is true, Moz is truly disappointing a lot of fans. I just don't understand it.

funny because sanctuary records has really been doing a pretty good job of keeping his name in the papers and in doing so, protecting their investment. but i can't see him sitting around all summer after all the hoops he and sanctuary has been jumping through. he might not tour proper, but i'm sure he'll perform the one-off gig around the states.

OR

either that, or my prediction from a month ago is coming true. without alain, him being on the road would end once his major commitments were met (ie: meltdown, move, etc). maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable touring without alain afterall -- makes sense since he's been pretty loyal to him in the past regarding alain's "ailments."

It seemed that all the efforts done by Sanctuary were mainly geared towards the US audience.
I don't think it has something to do with the "Reagan-Bush incident" do you?
What do you know? America is really NOT the world after all...
What about LATIN America? Fat chance right?

It's almost mid-July and there had been nothing announced yet. Has anyone here thought that he may be touring in the Fall???

Australia? *sweet smile*

(yes I'm gonna keep going on about this :P)

but if they were talking about next year then it's a big let down. if morrissey isn't going to tour then i hope he gets to work on new material for his next album.

I wish I lived in Chicago. Sell out in 7 seconds? Who got the tix, industry? My friend said some are on eBay for $500 a pop!
This news is a drag, almost as disappointing as the Kilborne cancellation, I don't live in LA or NY so this gutted me at the time and now this! Surely he won't neglect the US/Canada/Mexico? Its starting to feel strange that after all this 'Comeback' business to not have a ticket or even a set date for a show yet. A Winter tour is fine by me as long as I get to see him eventually.

if he tours in the fall, i probably can't see him then due to classes and stuff, so i suppose this is yet another tour that i don't get to see him.

hell, would it be a tour if it were easy for me to see him anyway?

:^)

After all the hype around this album and all the press there is no tour in America. What a stupid move. There goes the momentum. If it does have anything to do with the Bush comment that is even more stupid. I am glad he says what he feels isn't that freedom of speech. Anyone remember Queen is Dead or Margaret On the Guillotine. "I'd like to drop my trousers to the queen" Oh well I don't know why I am complaining he sure would not have come to Austin or Houston. He probably would have played 5 shows in Vegas, 5 in Tempe, 5 in Phoenix, 5 in Sante Fe.

I really don't understand this move from a marketing standpoint or a comeback standpoint.

Back when Lallapalooza was scheduled, people were asking why he wasn't playing the LA lallapalooza show. His people said it was because he was going to perform at a different time in LA so he didn't want to "double up" or whatever you want to call it.

So, in my opinion, he wil be coming back, to the west coast anyway, to play.

And all this talk about him avoiding the US because of his Bush coments, I think is rubbish too. Even though I didn't like the comments, I don't think anyone realy cared about them.
Were their any radio station sponsored "burn your Morrissey cd's" events or any other similar protests against him? Did Bill O'Rielly comment on it?
The old Dixie Chicks got a noticable thrashing from public after their comments.
Morrissey either doesn't have enough general public attention, or no one really cares.
I think no one really cares.

I am desperately clinging to the unlikely hope that because the story says "no US tour", rather than "no North American tour", he may still come to Canada (though I realize that it's probably just that Canada's not worth mentioning).

I know it's silly, but without this delusion, I just coudn't go on living. And I will be utterly inconsolable come August 6th, when I was supposed to have been seeing Morrissey perform at Lollapalooza.

*Sob*

but at least I'll save the $60 from the ticket to use to fill up my SUV and drive down to Carls Jr. for some of those tasty $6 burgers!

By the way...can anybody find Estonia on the map??!

First of all, I live in Chicagoland, and I am so happy that Morrissey is coming to play here. Morrissey did not play here during his last tour, so I believe Chicago is *way* past due!

I will be in line very early to see Morrissey; he is my boyhood idol, and my musical hero. He is and will always be the champion of my heart. Since age 12 he has mesmerized me, and I am 30 now.

As for the rest of the U.S., don't worry- there will be more tours and another album.

Truly,

Kenneth G. Stavitzke
ps- do you think I will get on stage? and could I ever be lucky enough to have tea with Morrissey?

So no summer US tour? Does it really matter? Let's try and put this into perspective here. We're just about half way through July...August will fly by...and then you've got the Fall. We've waited 7 years for his return so we should treat this as...what's the saying..a grain of salt.

I'm flying out to Chicago for the HOB show next Friday...I'll send my love.

What do you lot think?
Maybe fall or winter then ey? Summer's to hot anyway. Lets think possitive here mates. All is not lost.

he alwys seems to ditch his north american dates, perhaps once he learns to play a set longer than 50 minutues he will come back and try to "wow" us.

let's not hold our breath!

hope he comes out this way in the fall, New Haven Ct US!

Morrissey has toured the states PLENTY these past few years. We've been treated big time. Moz hadn't played Manchester in like what, 12 years?!

Let the Euros enjoy their time with him, he'll be coming home soon to rest in sunny LA. After a couple months recouping, collecting his thoughts and god only knows what else, he'll be back. You just need to stretch out and wait! Don't let your impatient nature drive you into vulgarity.

Well thats a really mature reaction. Moz has toured the US loads in the last few years and not touched Europe with a bargepole. Now we've got him for a fleeting moment you want to scream to your mammy because he's ignoring the 'good 'ol USA'.

I do feel some sympathy though. What a week for you all. No Moz and now, apparently, no WMD in Eye-raq! Maybe you could go cry to Dubya and see if he can "fix it" for ya ;)

You'd do well to remember the YATQ title track: "America is not the World".

p.s. what's wrong with Muse?!!!

hi bry17?
