Kewpie sends the link to the post in the forums by Je Suis Julie (via Morrissey reddit):
Just confirmed on MySpace: Velvet, Rimini Concerts Postponed The Morrissey concerts at Velvet, Rimini on July 13 and 14 are unfortunately postponed due to currently un-resolvable reasons. Ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets for further announcements. Refunds will be available at point of purchase. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. The Morrissey concerts in London (July 18, 19, 21 and 22) will take place as scheduled. --- Davide also writes: A friend of mine just called me. He phone Velvet (www.velvet.it), the venue where Moz should have played tomorrow and Tuesday. They said they were informed minutes ago by Morrissey's management that the two Rimini gigs are cancelled. The news will be on Velvet's website soon. I called the venue and they confirmed it to me, too. Still I don't want to believe it.

Why was I feeling this?
Why is Moz doing this all the time?
Why why why?
I am the real stupid who took two days off from work and booked two nights in a hotel in Riccione and now had to pay a penalty for not going (240 euros, dear Moz).
Let's see what the excuse is, this time.

If yor not happy with the Morrissey and his carefully thought out, justly, well informed reasons, revisions -- then -- don’t buy his tickets. But then, don’t go to the shows. He doesn’t want you there anyway if you have this attitude. And by the way yor attitudes are undelightful and ungrateful.
I have no objection to this new cancellation, cancellations. Believe me, it’s no joke. I don’t got time for this nonsense. Morrissey is entitled to do this, especially when these things have interrupted his intentions. Either that or it’s just -- it’s just that you are very very bitter. Conversation ended.

Until you hear the full details, why not just wait and hold your criticism?
If indeed Morrissey has postponed/cancelled this concert due to a rather lame excuse, then feel free to hurl the abuse.
But until then, give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
I know the internet is full of over-reactionaries, but please, think before you speak/type.

Morrissey's work ethic = (Score:1, Insightful)
There are countless performers touring right now with triple plus the dates, yet Morrissey is cancelling alot of what these other performers would call a mini tour.
It's quite shocking this is going on. The only acceptable reason would be a serious illness. I hope to god he's ok, but if this were any other line of work, Morrissey would have had the pink slip by now. So like I said...Morrissey's work ethic is poor.

Well, our Mozz may not moonwalk but he sure as hell sings a lot more in a show than michael jackson,especially now.And he has done it regularly for many years.
I wouldnt want our Mozz to suffer the pressures poor Jackson faced,and I'm very glad he'll get off when the going gets tough, cause I dont want anyone risking their health just so I can have a night out.Fuck that.

Riots, Temper Tantrums, Illness, Unresolvable issues.. It's all more of the same.
If you are a true fan, you know that until he grabs the microphone and sings, nothing is guaranteed. Even then, you still have no idea how long the show will last for.
This is the unspoken contract you enter into when you purchase a Morrissey ticket.
To spend extra money to travel, buy better seats, etc.. involves a great deal of non-refundable risk. It has and always will be this way.

The 25th of January 2008 at the Roundhouse you did ONLY 3 songs, then disappeared without a real excuse (The artis is not feeling good??? What does that mean?)
Could you calculate the price of flights, hotels, ticket etc? It was A LOT.
Then the same happened today: you can imagine I am really pissed, not only for all the money I've spent to not-see you for 2 times, but also because as a fan I feel really foolish.
I will send to you my bank account and I hope you will surprise me this time!!!

The problem with Italy (Score:0)
- Smiths played only one show here in Italy (May 85 in Rome, too young to get there...) and they appeared last time as a band at Sanremo Tv festival (not the real meaning of the word festival...)
- He should have been on tour with David Bowie in 95 for the first time solo in Italy, but they fell off with each other and we had to wait until...
-... 1999, November! This time He appeared, but Alcatraz venue (Milan) was only 2/3 full, and He didn't like it...
- Then He disappeared for everybody, but in 2004, when everything was perfect for a great comeback, where his management decided to let him play? At a crap festival in Bologna headlined by boooombastic Muse... Thousands of adolescents waiting for them and asking him to stop playing...
- 2006. He stayed some time in Rome, been happy, Italy just won World Cup only with a lot of culo, and The Perfect Morrissey Show of my life finally come, in the wonderful Roman Theatre of Ostia (sold out). Compared to that, a just very good gig at Villa Arconati near Milan seemed underwhelming. But I thought that finally Morrissey management understood how to get dates in Italy for him.
- Nop. SOME GENIUS thought that was a smart idea to plan not 1 but 2 dates in Rimini... I don't know how many gigs a year the Velvet club can afford to sold out: they have a local indie credibility, but Rimini it's a small provincial place, full of people on summertime, but 98% of that people are: 70+ old couples, families with babies, adolescents trying to shag as much as they can... Sure, a few dozens of you, Morrissey fans from all over the world, could find funny to see Morrissey gigs and being ina holyday place. But you don't sell out two dates.
So, here's what's happened again: poor ticket sales, He doesn't want to face a half empty audience IN ITALY, and you can all go home until the next time... maybe somewhere near L'Aquila?
(just to give you an example, tonight in Milan there are concerts by James Taylor, Mercury Rev, Ivano Fossati (one of the best Italian songwriters) and they are all sold out... I don't understand why managers don't just pick up dates in Milan and Rome...)
Goodnight

Credo si possa dire solo una cosa. Ci sono le persone a cui piace Morrissey e comprano il biglietto e magari si spostano dalla propria città per vederlo e poi ci sono i veri fan di Morrissey che son pronti a fare enormi sacrifici solo ed esclusivamente perchè per loro non si pone nemmeno il problema del "sacrificio".
Per noi è impensabile essere arrabbiati con Lui o solo pensare che chissà quali nefandezze ci siano dietro la cancellazione dei concerti. Di certo c'è stato un impedimento e solo speriamo che non riguardi il Suo stato di salute. Certo, siamo dispiaciuti di non poterLo vedere ed è comprensibile la delusione, ma sappiamo che quando le date saranno ripristinate noi ci saremo.
