Shame it was to be only his 4th gig in Bournemouth in 30 years. The 1st was above a fish and chip shop by the railway atation - only the 13th ever Smiths gig, the 2nd one year later at the town hall they walked off cos the audience didn't like them and had to be coaxed back on , the 3rd and only solo gig was at a half empty BIC and now the fouth is cancelled.Oh well I'll never learn

    Morrissey should feel like a total ass for taking peoples money only to collapse after one song and then not reschedule. he should find a way to refund the concert-goers in Swindon or schedule another gig. obviously it's not his fault that he became ill, but it's not the audience's either.

      I often wonder if at any point Morrissey ever feels completely embarrassed about his touring legacy.

      When the judge in the Joyce case labeled him "Devious, truculent, and unreliable," he expressed disappointment in being thought of that way. So, I have to wonder if he has reached the typical nihilist stage that people of his age often do, and doesn't really care, or if he acknowledges what an utter joke his relationship with his fans, and business partners is.

      All the while, he mails in new album after new album, burying his quality years even further under the mountain of shit that he now churns out for a paycheck.

      It's erie how accurately he has morphed into the very creature that he denounced in "Get Off The Stage." In retrospect, the song almost seems like an inside joke, as if it was his secret career plan.

      He simply has no high ground to stand on anymore when he chides other artists for not having anything to say, and creating inane pop songs.
