          Does the tour lurch onwards, straining Morrissey's voice further, or do they decide to cancel all dates until the recurring voice problem is properly treated/rested and Morrissey restored to full health?

          This is terrible! If he's got 'em on his vocal chords, then he needs an operation, not a few days here and there in the middle of a tour to rest his voice. Maybe he needs to postpone the whole tour so he can tend to his voice, and save a lot of people a lot of money and hassle. Get well soon, Moz!

          Just come back from the o2 Arena in London after seeing Girls Aloud with my daughter. Cheryl Cole was not feeling very well but carried on regardless, putting on a great show for the fans that made the journey to see them. Good for you Cheryl, you were a star, even thought it was very obvious that she was not 100% fit.
          I was looking forward to a great bank holiday weekend of seeing the people/bands that I enjoy and love. The phone call that I received today informing me of the cancellation was a great disappointment.
          I am a big fan of Morrissey, but have to agree with the many here who say that he needs to cut down on dates and do fewer so as to be able to give a better performance.

              This is just starting to look like a joke. He should have cancelled/postponed the whole tour. He is just letting every fan down by doing this.

              My theory:

              May 22, Manchester - Apollo
              May 23 Manchester - Apollo
              May 25 Salisbury - City Hall
              - Two days in a row too much for his voice. Third concert canelled.

              May 7, Glasgow, Scotland - Barrowland
              May 8, Glasgow, Scotland - Barrowland
              May 10, Liverpool - Empire
              May 11 London - Royal Albert Hall

              -Two days in a row too much for his voice. He clearly suffers during the Liverpool gig.

              Here are my theory of dates that will be cancelled during the rest of the tour:

              May 30, London - Brixton 02 Academy
              -three dates in a row. impossible for mr morrissey. his voice will fail him!

              June 11, Köln
              OR
              June 12, Berlin

              June 18, Borås - Åhaga

                I guarantee his next tour will be like this as with over ten dates canceled on this tour (so far!), he will not get any booker to take on the next tour or a underwriter to offer insurance.

                      I don't care how many gigs Morrissey cancels, he can do what he likes, it's his tour.

                      But the people who say "Get well soon, Morrissey"

                      Morrissey isn't ILL!! His voice has gone! It's not a bug. He can't do 3/4 concerts in a row, it's as simple as that.

                      Surely the next tour will be scheduled to understand this. You can't get seven illnesses a year, no-one does. I remember Linder Sterling once describing Morrissey as "the illest man alive" in about 1990 but this isn't that - he's got a healthy and cushy life - it's his throat.

                      15 nights over a month schedule - no cancellations. Not so profitable tour, but none the less, better.

                      I'm really drunk! Am I correct though?!?! Viva Moz
