Thanks to Kevlarsoul at AYNIM for alerting us.

Google Translate version of above article:

Due to a muscle injury bassist, Morrissey's concert tonight has been cancelled. "We regret that due to a muscle injury in the back of Soloman Walker, Morrissey concert in Cascais Music Festival was canceled. Soloman Walker Morrissey's bassist and a core part of the band, so it is impossible to hold the concert without him", said the statement released today by promoter Everything is New.
The former Smiths frontman was playing tonight at the Hippodrome Manuel Possolo in Cascais, and this concert would mark his return to Portugal six years after having spent the Paredes de Coura Festival.
The British musician apologizes to all fans who bought tickets and promises to return to Portugal soon. Those fans who bought ticket should go to the respective place of purchase to receive the refund within 30 days, starting with the date of the event.

omg! i hope this doesnt affect the manchester gig:SSSS

I'm missing your point. What do you believe that implies?

First, if you have nothing better to do with your time than to obsess over- and screen grab- Boz's Facebook updates, well, that is beyond sad.

Second, I'll just briefly say that if he is updating his Facebook with a laptop (as opposed to a smartphone), it probably doesn't have GPS built into it, and Facebook uses wherever the IP address is registered, which is London, in Boz's case, as the "location". It's actually really common for those Facebook locations to be incorrect- just ask anyone who travels frequently for business.

From True To You:-


Press release from Susan Blond:

We are very sorry to inform that due to an unforeseen injury to Solomon Walker's back, Morrissey will not be able to perform at Cascais Music Festival tonight. Solomon Walker is the bass player and a central part of the band and it's impossible to do the concert without him.

We would like to apologise to all our fans who had bought tickets to see us but we promise we'll be back soon. Ticket refunds are available from the ticket vendor.

He's shite at playing the bass guitar anyway.

She left off the bit about 'Morrissey still has no record deal'...

Aren't all injuries "unforeseen"?

Apparently not. When I turned up at my doctors and told him that I had put my balls in the dogs mouth, he said "i know where this is going" And he was spot on.

Not botched suicide attempts, I'm sure.

Do you think she wanted to make it clear that this wasn't the result of a suicide attempt?

Morrissey remains without a recording contract.

Well said! The conspiracy theorists just hate it when the blindingly obvious is pointed out to them. They all need to get a life.

If she hadn't clarified that Solomon's back injury was unforeseen, I would've thought that he'd tried to top himself because of a feeling of inadequacy about his level of musical proficiency.

On reflection, though, I actually think that Susan doth protest too much. I mean, why specifically deny that Solomon tried to commit suicide if it was just some accident he'd had? Something here stinks. What I want to know is: will he try again? Watch this space.

He will return to Portugal !I´m sure! He´s got two many great fans here...We need Morrissey now ...much more than never...

really nice he is refering too cascais and feels sorry...?

we were there yesterday, strange, lot of people from france, spain.. tonight we went to antony and the j., we asked the hotdog sellers in the same venue if they ever where told about not to open, they didn`t knew, very strange, they said morrissey did not not set up the stage and did not want to play at all, they heard it already in the morning, they are there always, and didn`t know off anything vegetarian, they have a contract for the whole period inside the venue.. we asked two different sellers, willy and top dog, they knew it in the morning allready, this looks like they already knew it for days if not weeks that they were not going to play..we talked with a lot of people and it seems not to be a fair cancelling........? happy i saw him in firenze altough that was also a strange if not dissapointing gig... i hope everybody is fine, thank you.
