Morrissey's people must think that everybody has endless funds and time, what with hotel costs, travel expenses, time off work etc. I for one will not be attending any rescheduled concert and will be giving great thought to attending any further cocerts by Morrissey

but certainly don't agree with it. Principles are one thing but financially people are hard pressed for 'event' occasions like these. Moz gets hit on the head by a plastic cup/glass bottle/chainsaw (delete as to whichever version you believe) and he says simply 'goodnight'? Christ Noel Gallagher was pushed over and had his ribs bust onstage yet still carried on for half a gig to finish the set.

Moz will always do what Moz wants - but don't be suprised if all beyond the die-hards press the arena for a cash refund to bypass such theatrics again.

as a life long morrissey fan and some who has been to see him well over 15 times this year i have been let down two times this year at great cost . Was at liverpool shaping up to be one of the best night till one individual sabotaged night bring night to a stop with all this in mind i feel a refud only way for me will not be able to justify travel hotel again

This is great news but couldn't he have just played the gig on the night after the offender had been kicked out?

Maybe the offender will buy a ticket for the reschedueled gig and the same thing will occur yet again.

Then it might have to be re-reschedueled.

But yet again said offender might make an appearance.

And it could go on forever...in which case I'm doomed.

Kill the bastard!!

Is he really gonna come back to england for one rescheduled concert!?

Well I'm going . . . on my white horse, and Macbethian attire . . .

Only because Morrissey is horrified at the thought of losing all the dough. I'm sorry for my pessimistic comments, well, no, I'm not actually.

If this were to happen then it wouldn't be the same second time around, I doubt he'd be giving out handshakes for starters!

Good luck with this.Should have been a man the first time around.It sucks to be thrown at but he is an old timer!He begs fans to kill themselves to get onstage, Savy,is a better word.
I have been to shows where someone said the "potentially" wrong thing,and it looked like he might sulk off.
No excuse for throwing ANYTHING at the stage,that guy was an ass,no doubt,but
Sit back,see that it wasn't a bomb,or something serious,and make a statement.
My feeling is that he always "needs" a reason to quit.
THERE I SAID IT.
He got one that night,so he took it.
The lame fan gave him the reason...that time.
but he always is ready to stop.
History proves this...sadly to say.
So ready to quit.I bet he could not sleep with himself knowing that,if he just cancelled the show the night before,he could have said "i stubbed my toe" or my hair was not combed and parted"...
10-1 odds this show never happens.
I am a fan,i just have an opinion.

It's time for you to come home where you're appreciated. You've toured long enough for the last 3 years. It's time to take a break & relax under sun. Come home. We're waiting with open arms, as always.

Love,
Moz Angeles

It will be the emptiest concert ever if he reshedules. People spend money they have not got, and travel far and wide, and he does this to them.
Yes it was bad for someone to chuck water, but a few minutes behind the curtain and then come back out, to not come back out is unforgivable, and this from a man who used to watch the sex pistols in concert before the smiths formed, he has become a moody middle class man, with very limited sense of humour, deliberately plays poor set lists just to piss people off, releases appalling best off albums, its as if he's playing a game off taking as much money off people as he can with not puting any effort in, he needs to take a good look at himself after this, he hasn't got that many fans to piss off like that, and to not even say anything about it is quite arrogant, i hope nobody turns up if he reshedules.

i hope its on the weekend if it happens
would make travel alot easier
i understood mozzers reasons and i've moved on
can't be bitter, we'll wait and see

ANYONE who travels more than a hours journey to see Morrissey is as big a fool as the arsehole who threw the bottle.

Saturday night was a disaster, but it was the type of thing that could have happened anywhere, there is no way to prevent it. There will come a time when an artist receives a lot worse than a bottle and where will be then? In the 1990's a tennis fan walked out of the crowd onto the tennis court and stabbed Monica Seles. This would probably have happened in football by now if the close circuit television was not as good as it is.

The incident on Saturday night has got nothing to do with Liverpool, the Echo Arena, Morrissey Fans, drinking at the gig etc... The incident is not personal to those elements. It could have happened anywhere. If you ban alcohol from the arenas it will just mean that many people stay in the pubs longer beforehand, arriving at the show with minutes to spare, which would create another problem and the consequences that a bottle neck could bring, as well as power mad security not liking the look of someone and saying they were too drunk to get in.

Morrissey loves Liverpool, he plays Liverpool more than Manchester. I have seen him several times in both cities and Liverpool has always been a better show in a better atmosphere. I was at the Manchester Apollo in 2006 and a section of the standing crowd, which I was a part of, was more interested in singing' 'If you all hate Scousers, clap your hands' it was a horrible atmosphere and the least enjoyable time I have watched Morrissey. I was at the same venue again this year and a section of the crowd was more interested in singing about Manchester United, as it was just days before they were mauled in Italy by Barcelona. I watched as bouncers turned the other way to let people with tickets to sit down enter the standing section, the toilets were literally an inch deep in urine, idiots were throwing plastic glasses full of beer across the crowd and the stewards were walking around like they owned the place. Afterwards we went out in Manchester, always a great place to go out, and had a great time, no trouble at all.

I think we need to keep this in perspective. I was there, Morrissey was right to walk off. There are dickheads everywhere in every city who will always have a problem with someone. Liverpool has the usual quota of scum that Manchester has, the tiresome, mindless runts who hate 'Mancs' and Manchester has their mirror equivalent too, as does every inner city in the UK. You will never change the mindset of people like that. If it was 1914 or 1939, there is a chance we could have got rid of them forever, but unfortunately they are here to stay, here to breed and god knows how much worse it will be when they have brain washed and mis-handled their children, the way their parents did with them.

I suppose on the plus side, with music growing so bland on an alarming rate these days, my years of going to concerts will be numbered anyway.

So there is a silver lining to Oasis, Kings Of Leon, Madonna, Emo and X-Factor after all.

Morrissey should re-schedule, for a one off show in about six months time. That way we can all put this to bed, Morrissey included. He is deeply appreciated in Liverpool and one fan from Burnley should not be aloud to destroy the bond.

I was totally gutted that Moz went off on Saturday night. I for one, am praying for a re-schedule, I will be there - come on Moz, come back to see us, we're not all like the pillock who threw the bottle!

I hope promoters and band's agents realise how dangerous it could be to give a free pass to all these "Moz-"fans"-turned-into-Moz-haters" who are still not dealing well with their frustrations. Perfect recipe for a riot.

Given the ridiculously high proportion of cancellations and stage-fleeing of this tour, I have a proposal:
Charge the audience AFTER the gig. We pay full price only if Moz finishes the whole set from start to encore, and pay proportionally if he decides to leave mid-gig. In the case of Liverpool, we would have paid around GBP 2,76 :-)

Happy to send us all home like a petulant child, but refund the money?.........see if there's a way round doing that boys.

The bottle-thrower was not alone, there were at least two other miscreants throwing stuff.

Oh brilliant,please please please re schedule. It doesn't matter about the hours traveling, just re schedule! You are still and always will be the best. The ones that matter still love you Morrissey.

It was my seventh time this year seeing moz. My partner, who has had a hideous year after suffering from cancer (all-clear two weeks ago- get in) came along with my mum and dad who have been intrigued with my 20 yer devotion to the great man. It was also my partners birthday. We live in Essex but are regular visitors to Liverpool as my dad is a scouser and the whole family follow Everton and I have family in the city. The day was fantastic, my mum and dad laid on the nice hotel, champers and we went to the cavern for a few beers. We proceeded to the gig and following advice from a steward, got access to the disabled section on account of my mums age and difficulties in walking round to the far side of the arena.
They loved Doll and the Kicks (bought my mum a cd) and were clearly enjoying Moz through This Charming Man. It was going so well - then step forward the biggest prick on the planet - I had a very clear view of the incident. I hope he woke on Sunday in intense pain from bruising and I hope he is punished further in some way.
I am in Mozza's corner, he created a great atmosphere by his opening words and it was set to be a great night, much better that Great Yarmouth, Cambridge, Brixton, Troxy, Albert Hall, Salisbury and Sheffield. The moment was ruined and his momentum was gone - it would not have been the evening it was shaping up to be and Mozz was correct. It felt gut-wrenching. Since then my mum and dad yearn for the re-scheduling of this concert as they just had a little taste of the greatest singer/songwriter of our generation. They want more - I hope it is possible.

Since the plastic bottle throwing incident, the Area & Liverpool City Council are reviewing the sale of drinks at the Arena. If this leads to a ban on sales of drink in the Arena it may stop mindless acts which ruins evenings for fans.

In a strange sort of way, Morrissey is indirectly causing the Arena to improve it's policy & procedure of how it is run which is run which must surely is a good thing for music fans & artists.

Its not nice to have things thrown at you but I think Morrissey could have composed him himself & come back after half an hour & continued. Considering the current economic climate, the vast majority of fans who payed for tickets, booked hotels & flights should not have to be penalised for one idiot's mindless action

OMG that would just be fantastic.... please please Morrissey if you read this ..re-schedule asap... !!! x

It is now nearly a week since the sorry incident - but no offical word from Morrissey?
I don't blame him for not wishing to continue - despite my going home disappointed and upset, but I thought that I would have heard soemthing by now?
I have adored Morrisey since hearing The Smiths on my crappy radio on John Peel in the Summer of 1983. My Norris Green bedroom seemed a happier place - even though the lyrics were not exactly cheery. They meant a lot.
I have attended too many Smiths and Morrissey concerts to mention - I have travelled far and wide, but always especially looked forward to the Liverpool shows.
I now feel a bit deflated that there has been no offical word - I was very sad going home on Saturday evening, but I now feel a bit ignored.
I have found in recent years (probably last 7), that Morrissey has attracted a different type of crowd. A bit aggressive, a bit macho.
I chose to buy seats in the seating area at the Echo Arena because of this - don't know if I will get my money back. I earn little more than minimum wage, so i'm not exactly rolling in it.
The whole thing has gone sour. I would feel differently if I had heard some offical word by Tuesday.
Enough time to recover and say something.

As it says. No new date will be made and refunds are being offered, including booking fees.

. . he will do his best to reschedule, Morrissey likes Liverpool.

And of every 'real' Liverpool person I've met - they are the kindest, friendliest, most caring people you could wish to meet.
