Apologies from Alain / Vegas to be possibly rescheduled - late Dec.
From Derick Greene:
I spoke to
Alain for a bit last night after the Coachella set. He was,
first and foremost, EXTREMELY apologetic about the Las Vegas
show cancellation. He was very aware of the great distances
and expenses some fans had traveled/spent and couldn't
apologize enough. He really wanted to play the House of
Blues and spoke of how great he knew the sound, etc. would
have been there. The good news is, at least for those who
didn't travel such great distances, that they have 3
extra days in their tour at the end of December and plan on
returning to Las Vegas and playing the HOB at that time.
As far as the Coachella performance was concerned, Alain
explained about the fact that when he picked up his guitar
on stage, it was the first time since the back spasm. Alain
likes to play a little bit before any performance and didn't
get the chance to at Coachella, as they arrived from LA
shortly before they went on. He thought they played quite
well (as I agreed) but that the whole Las Vegas/no warm up
thing kind of threw them because the rhythm/groove they had
gotten into from the previous shows was kind of thrown.
As anyone who's met Alain will tell you, he's very dedicated
to putting on a good show and playing well. Unfortunately,
he took the thrown objects which hit him at Coachella
somewhat personally as he believed they were thrown by angry
Las Vegas victims. I assured him that the crowd was not
entirely there for Morrissey and that the other
"element" present at the show was most likely
responsible.

Greek concert tickets on sale now
From George:
The tickets for
the Morrissey shows in Salonica (5 Nov.) and Athens
(6 Nov.) are on sale. Morrissey will play at Rodon club
in Athens and although tickets went on sale 4 days ago, the
show is nearly sold out. The capacity of Rodon is only 1700,
which is a shame really, regarding the huge demand for
tickets.
