Morrissey Cancels South Florida Show ... AGAIN - Crossfade Music Blog, Miami New Times
By Arielle Castillo, Thursday, Feb. 26 2009 @ 12:53PM
Local Morrissey fans were super-excited at the end of 2007, when it seemed the singer would return for a second area show that year. After an extremely well-received performance at Boca's Mizner Park Amphitheatre, he was slated to end his extended United States run with a date at the Fillmore Miami Beach.
Then, he cancelled. The very afternoon of the show, due to "illness." So it seemed like he was throwing us a bone by beginning his current tour, in support of his latest album, Years of Refusal, in South Florida again. The show was slated for Mizner Park, again, this Saturday.
But, he's cancelled ... again. Again, due to "illness." Either Moz is suffering from a long mystery disease, or he views the beginning and ends of his tour as expendable. It's extremely disappointing and perhaps a little insulting. So far, the Orlando show, scheduled for Sunday night at the Hard Rock there, is still on. Refunds at point of purchase, etc.

Just received a press release from Morrissey's people that the Sunday, March 1 show at Hard Rock Live has been canceled "because of illness." Refunds are available at point of purchase. I will scout around for some more details, but wanted to get this up right away.

Morrissey concert cancelled - Jacksonville.com
The Morrissey concert scheduled for Tuesday at Florida Theatre has been cancelled. His publicist's office would only say that that it was cancelled over illness.
Morrissey, former lead singer of The Smiths who has carved out his own 20-year solo career, also cancelled three other concerts in Florida.
The theater staff is trying to reschedule the concert for April, but refunds can be obtained at the place of purchase.

SweatSin also writes:I just found out Morrissey has canceled the show at Mizner Park this Saturday due to "illness." Not sure if this is the same illness(poor ticket sales) he had last time he canceled his Miami date. Either way, we hope he feels better! I suppose we'll be drowning our Smithian sorrows at Sweat Records(5505 ne 2nd ave) this Saturday instead.

Morrissey's latest album has entered the French charts at number 29. ---
Macsim writes:Good sales for YOR's first week in Finland. Tenth position in the Top 40 album chart, and by far the best new entry for a foreign artist this week. http://pop.yle.fi/lista/albumitYet both YATQ (#8) and ROTT (#4) did better in their first week in Finland.
Hans Moser writes:morrissey made it to number 24 in austria, which is the 2nd best new entry this week, and along with YATQ his best ranking yet here.
for comparison:
YATQ: 30.05.2004 24
ROTT: 21.04.2006 25
YOR: 27.02.2009 24

Can You Morrissey the Resemblance? - TMZ

Yesterday at the Santa Monica pier, "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle (left) was told he looks a helluva lot like The Smiths frontman Morrissey (right) -- and you know what, it's a pretty spot on observation.

Jeroen Bootsman writes:Dutch radio station Radio 2 will be broadcasting the legendary Smiths concert in De Meervaart in Amsterdam, 21 April 1984, upcoming Friday between 23.00 en 00.00 CET. This was their only gig ever in Holland and has since gained a cult status. Just a few very lucky ones were able to enjoy it, because it was a private party of the Dutch music magazine Vinyl. 25 years later, we can finally hear it via www.radio2.nl, by clicking on 'Live'. The concert will be online via www.legendarischlive.kro.nl. |
