Some of the new b-sides deal with his death - Never Played Symphonies, Friday Mourning.
Maybe he senses the Grim Reaper is chasing his tail..and catching up.

If he "hopped" into a taxi after he hopefully isn't more than shaken up. First illness now this, is there a vegetarian version of a rabbit's foot good luck charm? Maybe a shrunken Elton's head? Take care of yourself, Moz!

Sounds like the title of the next (un?)authorized compilation to me...

Dear Morrissey,

Sorry about that.

Sincerely,

Tracy Gold

Good to know that nobody was hurt! But as for the lady who dropped her groceries and said "oh god its morrissey" (or something of that nature), what a squandered moment! I would have been like "hey there, let me drive you to your destination.... and by the way i love you, i want front row tickets to all your shows, and can you autograph my boobs?"

Im glad Morrissey is ok. Don't know about those groceries..

not his stand in Charlie Brown?

until the tour gets cancelled?

any bets?

to see if everyone else was OK. Oh woops
he could give a shit and took off. Where
was Smithers I mean Jed was he alright.
Jettison the escape POD ! Room for only one.

it's good that morrissey's years of practice at fleeing the scene came in useful that night!

wait a minute...this happenned on saturday????

But what about the other dude? :(

When I first read this I thought it was going to say morrissey had died or something.

Here's what went down: Moz was riding in the backseat of his rented Mercedes with his boy Charlie Browne at the wheel, trying to make it in time for the soundcheck;

Chucks - Oi! Morrissey...erm would you have another spot of tea?

Morrissey - Why yes....that would be lovely.

Chucks - Some crazed looking man in a Mustang is plodding along traffic at a bizarre rate back there. Shall I speed up?

Morrissey - (sipping his Earl Grey) Erm...what?

CRASH-BOOM-CREAK!!!

Chucks - Moz, are you alright? Moz?

By now Morrissey has hopped out of the backseat, not to investigate the damage, but to investigate the stain which has now been made apparent on his Gucci slacks. Meanwhile, the man in the Mustang steps out, it is none other than a drunken Billy Joel. Thanking his lucky stars that it was just the back of a Mercedes instead of another house, he proceeds towards Morrissey. Neither one recognize each other as some strange woman with matted hair yells "You're Morrissey". Charlie, who by this time managed to make it out despite a strained neck, kicks the woman in the shin, causing her to drop her groceries. Thus, giving Moz ample time to escape according to standard operating procedure. The woman then believed it was Morrissey who had kicked her, but was later disappointed after Police examined Charlie's passport. When all was said and done, Charlie and Billy agreed to verbal arrangements for the repair of damages, and only 3 people noticed that Morrissey had a stain.
Morrissey immediately changed into his spare Versace trousers, and the show was a success.

OUT

The world IS full of crashing bores and I am not one

And if a double decker bus...

Sad sack songman? Mopemeister?

Christ, I hate journalists.

Who'd of thought?

I guess the NY show I'm going to on Saturday will be cancelled, it figures. I say we all still show up and hang out Radio City anyway.

The lady dropping her shopping is just too funny. It reminds me of a t.v. commercial.

How refreshing to see pop stars washing their hands of something so trivial as a car accident and making a quick escape while their minions are left with the boring task of exchanging details with the other car driver - carry on the good work Moz!

It's the flying groceries that make this story isn't it?

This guy on Livejournal was at the Boston show right after the accident, he said Morrissey had tried to tell the story to the audience, but they were apparently uninterested, which offended the Mozzer, who replied, "I almost died, and you don't even care!"...he also cut their set short...

Hahaha...I can just imagine Moz pouting off stage,"those bloody wanks don't even care if I live or die!"...which is also the title of his next single...he's so cute..awwww....I care, Mozzer!

That scared the heck out of me. For those split seconds, I now know, I will be in pain without him. Now I gotta get my moz skin art.

It had to be a shitty ass ford didnt it?

I posted this earlier. Thank goodness no one was harmed. He made no mention of it at Saturday nights gig.

yes, an accident that resulted in a bumper falling off calls for a lawsuit! perhaps $50 million would be a fair amount.

Then again, Vauxhall and I was supposed to be his last album...
