UPDATE:

Posted by an anonymous person:

She announced on FB about 10 mins ago:


We won't be continuing as opening band for the Morrissey tour. Thanks to all who showed up early and gave us such life-sustaining enthusiasm. Thanks to Morrissey for his years of support and generosity. There are lots of plans and lots of possibilities and we can't wait to tear into them.

Kristeen Young gives voice to the periphery while linking up to the stars - RedEye Chicago

Excerpt:

Can you recall the first time you met Morrissey?
The very first time I met him he didn’t recognize me. He had seen me in a video he really liked, and he didn’t recognize me as that person, so he had me kicked out of the studio [Laughs]. He was like, “Who is that girl? Get her out of here!’”

Really? Sounds more like scaremongers reading stuff that isn't there, coupled with a needy unsuccessful singer attempting to be cryptic.

THIS IS NOT A STORY. REMOVE FROM MAIN PAGE.

f***ING IDIOTS.

What was that again?

I know what you mean but she has been getting more press than I've ever noticed her getting before. She's added Dave Grohl to her network so who knows what strings he may be able to pull for her. It just seems like the most logical (again, lol) explanation.

Maybe Morrissey has malaria.

Admin: I think anon posts from different users are being strung together again, unless this is a one off.

I bet a lot of Morrissey's "viruses" is really serious depression in disguise. He is probably trying to cover up this fact by using the more socially acceptable "virus." Regardless, KY owes a lot to Morrissey, and even if he was taking a holiday, she needed to toe the line or move on.

This. I always wondered how someone with a well-documented case of depression could handle touring. Managing stress and having a routine is important to maintaining mental stability for someone with recurring episodes, so how is he able to deal with time zone changes and the rigors of touring? Someone like this also would have a really hard time with the stresses of a regular, full-time job, which is probably why he was unemployable when he was younger. (Seriously, in the U.S., if he had been a citizen and had never made it as a pop star, and couldn't work a regular job, he would have been living on Social Security.)

And in response to a comment saying it must be Morrissey's handlers who decided this and not the man himself, Tony replies:

"Can Morrissey really be 'handled?'

Where are we seeing these comments at? Facebook? Twitter?

Camp Moz said they were all ill. Kristeen said someone must have been confused, beause she wasn't. One interpretation is that something's gone down with the tour, someone tries to pass off a reason, KY veers from the party line - and she's off the tour. I can't help but feel there's a more deep-seated rason for the tour problems. Not just this one. Can't put my finger on it.

A possible explanation may be down to the insurance issue. Someone posted that further dates were dependent on this tour being completed, in order to get cover for the further dates. Should there not be a genuine illness issue, as KY suggested, then that would put further UK and European dates in severe jeopardy. Has it? Who knows? If so, maybe someone had to pay the price. Just guessing.

I genuinely hope everyone's OK, and that the dates can be completed, for the fans' sake.

P.

If this is true and Young deviated from the official line and accidentally told the truth, then somewhere the eyes of an insurance company fraud department boss just widened.

Can they only be seen by friends? Because when I go to her page I don't see anything since her last profile picture update and when I click on the link someone posted earlier I get

Sorry, this page isn't available

Tony's a DICK. Someone suggested it surely wasn't Morrissey's decision, that it must've been his "handlers." (Is he a f***ing dog? ) to which Tony replied "Can Morrissey really be handled?"

Yes, most of her status updates (including this one) are set to "friends only." The post is definitely still there at the above link.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I friended her precisely so I stay in the loop about this sort of thing...shameless, I know!
