posted by davidt on Monday January 28 2008, @12:00PM

Press release regarding London concert dates - true-to-you.net

Tour promoters SJM have announced that Morrissey's concerts scheduled for tonight and tomorrow night at The Roundhouse have been postponed due to illness. The iconic artist lost his voice last night four songs in to the fourth night of a run of six sold out shows at the legendary venue. He has been ordered by doctors to rest for the next four days. The sold out UK tour is scheduled to continue in Doncaster on Wednesday night. All ticket holders to the Roundhouse dates should retain their tickets and an announcement will be made this week.

All ticket holders will be contacted directly where possible.

Information regarding rescheduling or refunding will be carried on www.gigsandtours.com as soon as available.

The Sons & Heirs have also befriended ex-Morrissey drummer Spencer Cobrin. "He visited one of our rehearsals recently and sat in with us for a few songs," Taylor said. "He'll actually be deejaying at our show at the Canal Room in New York on Feb. 16 and he might even sit in on drums for a few songs at that show."

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
