This is ridiculous. Utter incompetance.

I was able to get mine refunded.
They gave me a credit on my credit card

This is all very familiar to most longtime Morrissey fans. The truth is, I've learned not to get excited about an upcoming Morrissey tour until I actually see the man on stage and the flowers flying through the air. I hope just as much as the next person that he plays some more dates but I'm not holding my breath - or buying plane tickets!

I know it's gonna happen someday........

Just maybe he realized that he had to concentrate more on getting the upcoming album together than spend a couple of months playing the same songs...

I often hear on this site from fans, "Oh why can't Morrissey stop the touring and get back in the studio to record a new album..."

Well maybe you all just got your wish..

....i would take these cancelled shows as a positive outlook to a possible album in the near future

-Moz cowboy

Poor Ms. Eckerd, draws support from membership fees and ticket sales...those Moz fans want it all back. 'Such a little thing, a gentle tone of kindness...'

....that he didn't cancel a pittsburg show. We'd never hear the end of that one!

Morrissey once said he doesn't get stage fright because "you really do have to go on." Well, once you set a date you really do have to commit to it. Stop buying his tickets if you're always just gonna have to get a refund. I wonder if he treats his boyfriends this way. "Dude, dinner this Saturaday night. Wine me and dine me, baby." Friday night, "Sorry I'm gonna have to cancel, I've got me better ideas."

poor Morrissey. Goes on a drunken bender and wakes up the next morning to find that he mysteriously has gigs in Georgia and Florida

What I don't understand is why everybody is being so rude to him. The shows weren'r officially announced by anyone speaking in Morrissey's name. So why should it surprise us if they finally don't happen?
Now what I'd like to know is who started all this.

I think all the people who are complainig about the "canceled" shows should get over it. There was never an official announcement by either Morrissey or his management. Rumors, rumors, rumors. This is very reminiscent of the Fuji Festival and the so-called Morrissey/marr reunion at Coachella. And to those who bad-mouth Morrissey---"Sorrow will come in the end" VIVA MORRISSEY!!!

Whomever says that the Clearwater concert was merely a rumor is an idiot.

Idiots.

Someone booked the damned thing with the venue. I somehow doubt that it was booked via a crank telephone call.

Also, it is certain that Moz knew about the show (and Atlanta) as several people (myself included) e-mailed Boz about it...

If it was only a rumor, he should have debunked it before his fans paid good money for tickets.

I realize that Morrissey being enigmatic is a great deal of the attraction, but this was just plain bullshit.

Irritating...

Shog

what a disgrace..to cancel shows that many fans looked forward to and paid their hard-earned money to see without there being an illness or some sort of emergency is completely unacceptable..i was not planning on attending those shows since I live in the west coast, but the fans out there have every right to be furious..camp morrissey has shown zero class and a great deal of irresponsibility. That is all

pack our bags and off we stride.. very well done.. just another sad day being a mozzer fan.. will these games ever stop?....

i am sick of it now

Why put us through the hassle Moz?

Hey everybody,

Watching you all complaining.... But YEAH, he came around Latin America last April!!!!!!!!

Hey Moz, I travelled 1.800 kms (38-hour in a coach ) just to hear you in Rio de janeiro. GREAT!!!! YEAH, he didn´t cancelled it.

Well, I hope everybody can attend to his concerts. Good luck to you all who wish to see him.

Maybe next time Florida. Besides Florida, is too humid, this time of year!

God Bless, Morrissey!

You really can't blame Moz on this one. These dates could have very well been booked without Morrissey's knowledge or permission ala Carnagie Hall in '94. If a tour was officially announced via official channels and a full schedule was put out and tickets were on sale, it would be different, but these were just a few bookings.

I personally don't think it in Moz's best interest to tour again. Not until he has new material. If he tours again with nothing new, he'll fall into the category of all those cheesey bands that just tour for the money and have nothing new to tour with.

Get back into the studio and put something out already! I don't care if you press the CDs yourself or release them on Boz's label..just release something! You are falling deeper and deeper into obscurity..all the good work done on the last tour to promote yourself is slowly going to waste with each passing month!

I think It's more likely that Morrissey is far off somewhere, Possibly Australia To catch The Cure's mini tour there in september of course)
--Sipping some tea rather then getting ready for a tour of Georgia and florida. Really.. I find it hard to believe after touring for a year he would:
Out of nowhere pick 2 Dates to play. I think we should just wait until we see ads advirtising the shows and its confirmed with ticket master or something to buy tickets..

Better then wasting money and getting let down over nothing.

This really disturbs me not just in the conventional "Moz cancells another block of shows" way, but something deeper. It seems that since before he went and made "Southpaw Grammar" he has seemed to be lost. It took him a long time to produce "Maladjusted" and that was a decent album. I don't know if he is trying to do too much at once and oversteching himself in the process, or if he just doesn't have the right people around him anymore (I thought Mick, who produced "Your Arsenal" was good for Moz).

Either way, I know that he has something in his tank, I just don't know when he is going to show us.

It would figure that the one time I get really good seats (6th row center) to see Morrissey, the show would be cancelled. I think it's safe to say that that is Murphy's Law in action. When you have crap seats, the show goes on (I'm not complaining...you still see the man), but when you have really really, really good seats, it would get cancelled. Así es la vida. I'm not stressing, though, I think he'll book another show in Clearwater.

What in the name of Morrissey has she done this time? For those of you who don't know, Ruth Eckerd is a Morrissey impersonator who travels throughout the Southeastern U.S. booking gigs under the stagename "Morrissey". She has her own hall named after her, much like Box Car Willie has his own theater in good ol' Branson, MO. Word has it, Ruth lost her rhinestone-studded strap-on and had to cancel the gig. For those of you requesting a refund, I'd give it a second thought. She's rolled around naked all over your money.

Negative One...maybe the proprietor does have a bias for Moz? Not for the vunerable prey...

OH MY GOD!!! Your post is hilarious...
