This is just crazy. It's the start of the tour TODAY. What on earth? And food poisoning wouldn't mean a whole two months of postponed shows. It doesn't last that long. I've never had it, but wouldn't food poisoning be over in a couple of days or so? Something isn't right. I'm not buying it...
 
Morrissey caught the band chowing down on some regional dish of animal flesh, so he poisoned all their booze. Clearly.
 
Verbal diarrhea.
 
f*** sake

" On a serious note this is an important tour for him. He needs to get through it in one piece. A single cancellation on health grounds and he will be, in the immortal French phrase, "le f***ed". "

"le f***ed" then I would say Johnny !

Who in their right mind would insure this pasty veggie ? At least Mum or the band haven't had to take the shit for him this time eh ! (No pun intended)
Veg for no reason and veg for no reason is murder (Through the eye of a needle).
I bet Jamie Horrible and Gordon Rams-Arse are laughing their sweet-meats off at this.

Esa wea te pasa por comer cebiche, en chile eso no te pasaria al comer sopaipillas en el carrito que esta fuera de la u....

Fuerza moz!!!
 
Moz in south america u need to wash all veggies in vodka, to kill e-coli, don't cha kno?

If this is real, I doubt it's food poisoning...something really bad happened to make him cancel all dates (since food poisoning usually goes away in a day).

My guess is because of the language barrier a chef inadvertently slipped mozzer a little meat, and not of the human male kind either. That would make total sense for him to cancel everything.

Oh well. Shit happens.

Yep that'll teach him to take the guy who puts salt on his fries with him to South America instead of being a tight bastard trying to save money on wages.

Oh dear. A disaster if true.

He can't have flown back to the UK if he has food poisoning. Anyone who has really had it would know that. I caught it twenty years ago and couldn't travel half way across the bathroom, let alone half way across the world.
