          Poor Moz. All this season change and going from North to South has to catch up with him at some point. The weather in US is crazy at this time of the year. Who can stay healthy with that? Great touring, Moz, and thanks for the magic moments you gave me in June, July and October. Go back to Rome, where the season is, I suppose, always nice, and get well.

            I still don't understand how so many other acts can tour endlessly without canceling, yet Morrissey doesn't seem to have the strength to finish a Goddamn tour.

            This is also further evidence that Morrissey could treat his fans anyway that he likes, and they will still clammer at his feet. Pathetic.

                The hectic schedule with these weather changes can't be good for anyone.

                I can't believe it didn't happen sooner. He's been touring for so long and ofcourse the weather change. But not just that....There are many people who shake his hand or get on stage and hug him and that may have passed along some germs. No offense to anyone but it happens and I just hope he gets better.
                and to the people who say he's not sick well... i dont think morrissey would end his last date on this tour like this. He probably will reschedule. I mean he did for NYC and it wasn't just one show.

                                            People who come on here and say hateful things are the real assholes not Moz. You KNOW Morrissey by this point in time. You know he does do this on occasion and has been doing so since 1984. Why even bother wasting your time writing hate mail on here. I live in Pittsburgh and he canceled twice! I had to drive the entire way to D.C but do you see me bitching, NO! It made the experience THAT MUCH better. So get a life and leave Moz alone. I hope you feel better Morrissey and don't listen to these bastards. You put on one hell of a tour and I'm happy you came over to the states and shared your music.

Grow up and stop bitching and it will be all the better when you are lucky enough to see him again - which some you seem to take for granted... You're gonna miss him when he's gone - so stretch out and wait... and basically shut it up too... if you can't say anything nice.

                                                      I knoe people on here think Morrissey's cancelations are normal for any band. Wrong!!! I know band that haven't in 15 years. He cancels a few shows every tour. He is a moody guy.

                                                      Fucked up for people who went out of their way to go to the show and the it is canceled. Morrissey seems to not understand people plan for a certain show. So, many aren't gonna see your show at all. Most would rather hear your voice a little rough rather then a no-show.

                                                      Also, what was with his Manager's comments in the Billboard article. "He loves to play the out of the place" making it like he shouldn't, ???

                                                      Alss shows are equely important to the crowds. WEAK!!!!!

                                                        I actually anticipated this when, during several points in the last few shows, I saw people coughing and hacking into their hands just before showtime. It seems Moz was coming into frequent contact with sick people, and I remember thinking "Well, there's no way he can stay healthy with all of this. Plus with travel, living in hotels and on the road, etc., it'll get him." And it did.

                                                        But of course to those of you with flawless immune systems and who interact with 10 other people each day at max, you can't imagine someone getting sick (at THIS time of year? after touching dozens of strangers each night? Nah!).

If the reason were poor ticket sales or something, LiveNation would have stepped in with something like a water main break or something (ahhhhaaa!!).

Was looking forward to the lovely reviews, but I accept the lovely gripes anyhow. I can imagine the travelers are much more frustrated than I was for the cancelled shows in my hometown. You deserve to bitch. Get it out and let it go.
