Popular enough, but viewed as more of a joke to many due to the track record of aborted tours here.
He rarely cancels the big payday shows in NY and LA. I wonder why that is? Must just be really good timing or something...I reckon there are no "aborted tours" in Uncle Steve's hometown Moz Angeles inn nn it. I reckon Steve is all the rage down at The Sunset Marquis, Dodger games, playing beach volleyball on Malibu, and the famous jet ski races to Zuma with John Lydon, Steve Jones, Dave Evans, William Michael Albert Broad, Ozzy, Jack, & Kelly.

Yes, with many other bands to split the dough with. I don't think that was a cancel as much as a strategic retreat though.He did cancel the big KROQ Acoustic Christmas show in LA. I was shocked, as this was a sold out show which he was headlining.

Only slightly less than they used to. Many people who have dealt with multiple cancellations end up moving on. I'm hard pressed to remember any cancellations in my concert going life apart from Morrissey. The Curiosa festival the Cure did back in 2004 was postponed due to a death in the family and returned minus the opening bands, Nick Cave was postponed due to 9/11, and Marilyn Manson cancelled a small venue show here in 1997 because the venue wanted s $1,000,000 insurance policy against damages. Apart from that, it's just Moz I believe.He cancelled MSG 2007 and Barclays in 2014 off the top of my head..Kind of a joke now but people still show up.
How popular is he in u.s.?

I wouldn't go that far, re: bridge burning. They've had a long relationship, and it's common knowledge that Morrissey is the cancel king.The shocking part is that KROQ was a big supporter of Morrissey and the Smiths and helped establish him/them in Los Angeles. It was like burning a bridge.

That's golden! And nothing new. In 2002, I was waiting at the stage door prior to the show in Eugene, which happens to be right next to the bus mall. TONS of people, and not just kids asked who I was waiting for, and their common reply when I said "Morrissey" was "Who?" The best though was a young man who replied "EUGH! Gross! My Mom listens to him!"Well I'll tell you one thing, the kids don't seem to have any idea who Morrissey or the Smiths are. KROQ was trying to give away tickets to the Christmas show by having a contest where they'd recite some Smiths/Morrissey lyrics and the call-in contestants were supposed to say the next line. They went through about half a dozen callers with NO WINNERS!
They had to resort to the following question: "Morrissey had a big hit with 'Every Day Is Like Sunday' - NAME THE OTHER DAYS OF THE WEEK!"
Are you sure you weren't just watching 'my life with morrissey'? That's, like, a direct quote from that (brilliant) movie.That's golden! And nothing new.

Popular on both coasts, it seems, including with college-aged folks, from my decidedly non-scientific observations. The cancelled Boston show was sold out (and yes, the radio joked about it).How popular is he in u.s.?
Lol, I saw that when it came out and that line made me laugh twice as hard as it should have due to my experience. I've heard that line from more than one person though. The last time was a couple of years ago training the brand new 21 year old server at a pub I was working at.Are you sure you weren't just watching 'my life with morrissey'?
