  Excerpt:
  
  English singer Morrissey brought his crisp baritone and familiar, turmoil- filled lyrics to Amphi Shuni in the northern town of Binyamina Sunday night, and while all 1,350 seats of the restored Roman amphitheater were full to bursting with dedicated fans, Morrissey himself seemed a little, well, listless.

@Famous when dead, for the love of god make this your new avatar.

For the record I actually quite like Notre-Dame.

 

[Amy]

My thoughts exactly - I think Morrissey has copped a lot of undue flack in the media over the past few years, but this indulgence in cranky conspiracy nonsense is the absolute low point in his career.

I thought the tedious lyrical obsession with free speech and being silenced was bad enough, but this in another level of awfulness (both as songwriter & person). It's not only getting hard to defend Moz, but musically it's getting so uninspiring on every level - basically career sabotage of an epic scale. Just baffling and so very depressing.

Genuinely think he's lost his marbles at this point. I'm off to see him in Liverpool later this month, let's hope for some from of redemption from this decline...

Honestly, if this is the direction Moz is going, I hope it is the end because I don't want to see how it pans out. He is losing contact with the real world and if he had even one decent friend, you'd think they would try to talk to him and help him because this is career suicide. He is surrounded by toadies on the payroll.

As others have said, Morrissey is clearly mentally ill and not well, and it's obvious he's getting no treatment for it. No one in his circle seems to care or speak up as there's only enablers and yes men left at this point. He's lost it as a lyricist and arbiter of quality control for his own brand, and I sadly feel those elements are gone for good. This has been going on for years, but it seems to have reached a crisis point. I'm not even talking about his awful new song, or his politics, it's an overall problem that only the blindest of sheep can ignore at this point.

It’s the glasses of gin he drinks with just a splash of tonic, to paraphrase Liam Gallagher after meeting Morrissey.

 

[Light Housework]

Anyone who voices concern is sacked.

Anyone who voices concern, like Morrissey has done, gets cancelled, and labeled 'racist'.

 

[Anonymous]

I like the song.

 

[theprivilegeismine]

That's a PR disaster. Right there.

Damn right. He's a (practising) troublemaker until the bitter end. I've never seen anyone so proficient in the art of self-sabotage.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

He doesn't look like he has a problem with alcohol. He seems extremely healthy. He's 64.

Have you missed the airplane video? It’s all there.

 

[brody]

I hope the “cold hand” touching him is someone staging an intervention.

 

[Light Housework]

Have you missed the airplane video? It’s all there.

That was Moz being expressive.

 

[Tom]

It’s the glasses of gin he drinks with just a splash of tonic, to paraphrase Liam Gallagher after meeting Morrissey.

I'm sure alcohol is part of the issue, especially if Jesse is getting him drunk on a regular basis, but it's not the entire picture. You're looking at a severely mentally ill, unwell individual in a spiral and there's apparently no one who can help him.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

That was Moz being expressive.

That was Moz being a melodramatic alcoholic.

 

[Ryan]

That was Moz being a melodramatic alcoholic.

We've all been there.

What a silly, cop-out reply. And I'm one of the few who doesn't consider Morrissey a "racist." Like someone else mentioned, he's getting harder and harder to defend.

How have I copped out?

[Multi]

I don't know what has happened to Morrissey

what happened is that he met Russell Brand.

 

[Thewlis]

Great opening night of the tour, on a lovely location.
The band sound really good, for a first time playing together.
Looking forward to the other dates.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

It’s a sad state of affairs, but Morrissey’s career is over. In a few years he’ll be touring renaissance fairs and retirement homes, swaggering on stage with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire.

I hope his new music never sees the light of day, as it will only tarnish his reputation further. Conspiracy garbage.

I never thought it would come to this.

It breaks my heart.

We all feel sorry for you, Eric.

Don’t take it too hard, there’s always hope.
