Tonight's Morrissey Show at the Fox Theater Has Been Canceled - SF Weekly
By Ian S. Port Thu., Dec. 1 2011 at 2:57 PM

Update:
Morrissey's drummer, Matt Walker, hurt his eye, which is why the band cannot play tonight. His publicist says the injury is not expected to affect any other tour dates.

Original post:
Just got word from Morrissey's publicist that tonight's sold-out show at the Fox Theater in Oakland has been canceled.

No explanation for the cancelation was given. But you may remember that last time Morrissey came to Oakland in 2009, he also canceled his show -- allegedly because he was sick. (It didn't please his fans that Moz was seen out at DNA Lounge the night he was supposed to be too ill to play.)

"More details will be given as they become available," his publicist wrote.

Information on refunds was not immediately available, but we'll update this post as we learn more.

When a large portion of the country is ignored for purposes of the tour, it has to be expected that people are going to travel long distance to catch the show. Yes, there is risk involved when booking travel. But knowing that fact doesn't make it suck any less when you're the person who gets off the plane after a long and costly flight to find out it was all for nothing. Even paying double for the refundable airfare would not have helped in this case since the cancellation was at such short notice.

So sorry to hear about this, Nor Calers. He'll make it up. Hope Matt's pain isnt greater than a few beers, a Vic and a good nights sleep can fix.

He only cares about himself. Ask his friends. Ask his family. He's always letting them down. His biggest talent is disappointing and hurting people. He never thinks about anyone else. That is why he is still alone and will stay alone. The only friends he has left are his employees. The rest ran for the hills.

He isn't alone. He'll never be alone. He'll never walk alone. He has me, now go f*** yourself.

Matt Walker spoke to the press this evening with this rather short, cryptic message when asked whether or not he was too ill to perform, Walker said: "Yes, I am blind."
