After previously canceling Royal Albert Hall appearance on monday due to illness, it seems mozzer is still ill as he has had to cancel his forthcoming tv appearance on later with jools holland tonight which also includes The New York Dolls. his myspace blog says that he needs time for recouperation so there can be minimal disruption to his uk tour:
It's with great reluctance that Morrissey has been forced to cancel his scheduled appearance on the Later... With Jools Holland program this week.
Instead, Morrissey will continue his recuperation so that he can get back on the road as soon as possible and that the minimum disruption is caused to his current UK tour.

Hi all. I work here at Symphony Hall and just heard that Morrissey has cancelled tomorrow nights gig here. Absolutely gutted. Just wanted to let you all know asap. Hoping to reschedule.
We regret that this concert has been cancelled due to illness but we are working to try and reschedule the concert to a date later in the year. We will be contacting ticket holders once we are clear as to what is happening, in the meantime ticket holders should keep their tickets.
Mikey Farrell, formerly of Morrissey's band, will be the in-studio guest on this week's edition of "Breakfast with The Smiths: The World of Morrissey" this Sunday May 17th on www.Indie1031.com at 9am Pacific Time.
The former keyboard/trombone/trumpet/percussion/guitar player and backing vocalist will talk with host Jose Maldonado about life on the road with Morrissey and what he's been up to since the "Ringleader" tour.
Tickets for Rimini on 13 and 14 July are now on sale at www.ticketone.it which has an English version. According to Velvet's website (the venue), these will be the only Italian dates, but I don't know if that's official.
After reports here that Moz's voice was failing him somewhat in Liverpool yesterday, the venue has confirmed that tonight's gig in London will not go ahead.
