Just spoken to the Britannia Pier people, who tell me that tomorrow's gig is going ahead.

They spoke to Mozza's management yesterday, who said it was still on. God bless antibiotics.

"We see no reason why it won't go ahead."

Their words, not mine. I'd check tomorrow before you make a mammoth slog.

(Funnily enough, Moz isn't listed on the Pier's website but comedy giants the Chuckle Brothers are. Along with TV medium Derek Acorah. Maybe Degsy can feel some residual energy and tell us all if Moz will defo turn up!!!!)

    Thanks for your post.

    I'm attending tomorrow's show and have been eagerly awaiting news all day.

    Your update is like sweet music to my ears.

    So... Great Yarmouth here we come ..."come, come - nuclear bomb!"

    A hard act for the Chuckle Brothers to top I'm sure!

          Never in doubt. He loves to play at venues that he hasn't before. Yarmouth was always going to be one for him and I can't wait, a victorious return and spark a tremendous tour.

            For a LONG time I abstained from signing up to this site...or in fact even coming on it!...as it really annoyed me how 90% of the users seem to despise the genius that is Morrissey.

            Given the recent situation, I have been checking everyday to see when the tour would start up again and, alas, I have caved in and signed up simply to say...THANK FUCK!

            I have tickets for Royal Albert, Hartlepool, Troxy and Brixton x 3. I live in London as a Student but am originally from Hartlepool and seriously nearly wet my pants when I first hear he was playing there. Honestly, its the biggest thing to hit that place since the Blitz. Obviously I was devesatated that the RAH did not go ahead (not as much as my sister who paid £98 to get here and £58 for a hotel room for NOTHING) but essentially the London shows are just a VERY pleasant night out to me. The one that means the most is Hartlepool, my home town and all I can say is thank GOD he is ok again=]

            He has saved my life on many occassions and i am totally indebted to him.

            Hope to join you all in a MOR-RIS-SEY! chant soon=]

            It's a good thing Morrissey wasn't up and about roaming around and visiting concerts, like he did during the California cancellation.

                P.S. Any people who haven't been to Yarmouth. The pier is the place where they are advertising the chuckle brothers. Basically Yarmouth are too cheap to change it and advertise Morrissey espically as it was sold out anyway. However, I'm gonna tell him the chuckle brothers are more popular than him. I hope to get a classic Morrissey face.

                  but i rather had seen Morrisset taken a few more days rest, so he can at least go on from his birtday gig

                  now it's for every gig, does he make it

                  I know the whose the most hurting and fustrated with this is Morrissey himself

                  but if he thinks he can go on, I'll hope no more
                  cancels till the tourdates who still come in.

                  enjoy the show toninght

                      Morrissey - the pantomime horse! (Score:0)
                      Perhaps Great Yarmouth is a mirror of Morrisseys failing career. For whatever reason he could not play the premier venues of RAH and BSH, but could play 'the seaside town that they forgot to bomb', that attracts such worthy acts as The Chuckle Brothers. Note: The Chuckles got a mention on the pier website whilst our on/off healthy/ill hasbeen did not. Look out for Morrissey appearing in panto next year - he would make a superb ugly sister or the arse of a horse! The panto horse is quite apt as Morrissey seems happy to flog a dead one. It is very painful to witness a once great song writer reduced to working with a second rate backing band producing awful songs. The Smiths b-sides were a million times better than his current a-sides. Some one order a tranquilizer and put this man out of his misery!
