Tour updates

Sorry if the tour section so far seems unorganized, traveling to the shows has been hectic as usual. Thanks to everyone who has been submitting info / photos through the tour page and through e-mail - after Coachella I'll have more time to devote to the site. In the meantime, also check out MorrisseyTour.com for updates from each show.

From Gladioli, a scan of the ad which appeared last Sunday in the Sunday Times. The same image was used in the poster sold last night ($7 in Santa Barbara):



London (Nov. 13)
may not be going ahead. From Grant:

The above gig does not appear to be going ahead after all. The reasons being that 1) Ticketmaster have taken this date off their system altogether, 2) the tour advert that was doing the rounds in the music press does not mention this date and 3) nme.com do not have it listed. Putting 2 and 2 together it looks like this date is a no-goer.

Manchester Apollo (Dec. 8?) not confirmed, from NK:

I rang up the Apollo to confirm this and they appeared to know nothing about it. Whether they are try to curb an onslaught of phonecalls that may well result in the confirmation of this date I do not know.

The previously mentioned rumor about Shed 7 supporting Morrissey in the UK are false - Sack is supporting.

Scan from Smilingontim, an ad which appeared in the Nov. Q magazine. The image is also used for the tour t-shirt. ($18 in Santa Barbara).

Hole bassist nominates Morrissey sexiest male artist of all time

From Brian Cohen:

Morrissey was nominated as the sexiest male artist of all time by Hole bassist Melissa Van Der Mauer (spelling?) on the VH-1 show "The List". However, in true Moz fashion, his name was removed from the list after another actress on the panel eliminated him before a final vote was taken, which the studio crowd seemed quite unhappy about.

Of course, Elvis won the contest.

From trouble:

I was watching The List on vh1, where there are 4 guests and they discuss different topics. Today the guests had to pick the 3 most sexiest men of all time. One of the guests was Melissa something of Hole. She picked Morrissey as her #1 choice along with Prince at #2 and Elvis at #3. when the list of all of the choices were put up, they then had to each pick one to eliminate. All was going well until they got to the last person, Bridgette something, the broad that played the teacher in Billy Madison, she chose to eliminate Morrissey as most sexy. DUMB BROAD!!!

Stars In Their Eyes - Sat. Oct. 9 on ITV (UK)

From Robert Stagg:

The Stars in Their Eyes celebrity special featuring Harry Hill as Morrissey is to be screened on Saturday 9 October on ITV.

More details from Ryan Minchin:

'Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes 2' is networked in all ITV regions in the UK on Saturday (9th) night at 8.55pm and features amongst others, British 'alternative' comedian, Harry Hill appearing as Morrissey and Coronation Street star Denise Welch as Petula Clark. For those not familiar with the show, its basically a souped-up Karaoke competition where (usually) members of the public get to realise their dreams by dressing-up as their favourite singer and performing a number. It'll be interesting to see what song Hill chooses to perform.
