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.

However, I think it's best for Morrissey to take plenty of time to recover completely, rather than struggle on risking further damage.
I'm sure this is hard for Morrissey, the band, the support band and all associated employees too. Not many of us have the pleasure of making a living from what we enjoy doing, but we all know what it feels like when illness or threat of unemployment strikes.

obviously it's just creped up on him this tour, if he new he would have to cancel so many dates then he would certainly have done something else because he is reschedualing them, he's doing them anyway.

Top this with a mediocre album and uninspired samey setlist...what you have is a career disaster.
I doubt we'll ever see another tour like 2004 & 2006. Let alone tours before his 7 years of absence.
I feel sorry for everyone; Morrissey, his band, his crew, his management, fans.
I feel really upset....almost in tears. I couldn't care less if it was *any* other band...but I am sad cos it's Morrissey who is so special.
I am mourning. I really do think this is the end.

Yet the Brixton statement only states "Event Organizers would like to apologize to fans for the disappointment. Additional information will be issued as soon as possible"
I'm hoping its because when the Brixton statement was released all 3 dates hadn't been cancelled? But do we think its possible he might not even reschedule Brixton?!

So pen and paper for a week more, it sounds like. Maybe string along your funny notes into a song? This injury ironically necessitates writing.
Perhaps future tours should be one day on, one day off, and so on?

It's not just a sore throat! (Score:0)
When a singer damages his voice, it means that he will lose some of his range, in some cases entire octaves. Whatever is left will not sound the same either; it will be weaker, airy, and hoarse. That means that he will NEVER be able to sing your favorite Smith's and Morrissey songs ever again! Is that what you want? As long as you get your fucking money's worth, right?
We could be witnessing a new direction (Score:0)
Many are disappointed with the quality of the recorded material and the fact that they can almost predict what each album will sound like these days, with many calling for a new direction.
Taking all this into account as well as his supposedly suspect vocal chords, could this be the right time for a new direction? A direction that relies less on his voice?
The answer could be something totally new and based on the classic sound of Kraftwerk. can you imagine some of Morrissey's songs re-worked into the new sound?
I think I am genuinely on to something here, although it may be a bit brave for many.
Lets go electronic Morrissey it could open up a whole new world.
