I just received an email from NOUS PRODUCTIONS, the company organizing the Morrissey gigs in France.

It says, I translate :

MORRISSEY
TOUR OF REFUSAL 2009 (FRANCE)

Morrissey has to cancel his gigs in Paris (June 2 Grand Rex) and Lille (June3 Aéronef).

Morrissey is on doctor’s orders not to sing, to ensure a complete recuperation.

The Paris and Lille gigs are posponed and rescheduled for November.

Original tickets for the rescheduled dates remain valid.

God Help the Girl - Pitchfork

"It was liberating, and I think it's been in the cards for a while. I think being able to move onto something and do something different means that something else dies. What dies is being able to get up and sing songs like Morrissey, or the Smiths, to sing songs right from the heart, to really be able to be talking about yourself and what's going on with you. I think I've been moving away from that stuff for quite some time. And you're right-- when you start living with these new characters, that's a change and I found it quite easy to do. Almost too easy."

Even though Morrissey has cancelled his Thursday night show at the Brixton Academy (and, alas, may well cancel the other two, but fingers crossed he doesn't), we're still going ahead with all three HDIFs at the Canterbury Arms. So if people are coming to London on Thursday and now find themselves with nothing to do, they're more than welcome to come along and have a pint and a dance with us!
