I call BS.....this is a hoax.

If not, he really must be in poor health.
 
Stay within the path indicated by the concierge! Oh how awful. :( Three days...I bet they were hoping they'd be better by today. Why cancel the whole tour though? Ugh, this sucks.

[sigh...] edit: 'sigh'.....because this statement from the promoter may well invalidate/complicate whatever health and cancellation insurance was covering these dates/tour. Suggestive behaviour more like ingenue tourists than professional touring musicians. When travelling on corporate stuff in foreign climes, it makes sense to stick to hotel: maybe it was too expensive so they risked a cheapo pizza? Tour catering is hardly rocket science. Another spectacular own goal by the looks of it.

All of the veggies were washed with raw chicken blood I suppose, or spit. "Burden of Dreams" (doc about Werner Herzog) has a scene where they make a drink out of fermented spit.

Or it could be he got a little sick and used that as a excuse to leave and cover his real reason for leaving, poor ticket sales.
 
Why isn't Kristeen Young sick? I find it a little hard to believe that she doesn't eat meals with him.

At any rate we can all expect the rambling TTY message soon; telling everyone how sorry he feels and how deeply he wanted to sing, and how great the people of South America are and something something Kate Middleton and something something animals, blah blah blah, shut up Morrissey. Be a man and own up to your commitments. Stop jerking your fans around.

I failed to mention that "Burden Of Dreams" was shot in Peru.

Not the scene, but the drink.

The sickness (in theory) could have cause a tear where his ulcer is healing. They're tricky things.
 
Morrissey has got to be one of the most unreliable entertainers in show biz today... Look at his winter tour... Past behavior predicts future behavior. I call bullshit... Morrissey needs to quit taking his fans for granted... I'm not wasting anymore valuable time...

Very well said.
 
I would pay to watch him poop on stage. No way this is real. Not after canceling the remainder of the US tour. No way. Total hoax. No one goes home (all the way to London) for food poisoning. You can't even get more than a day with your boss using the "I've got food poisoning" excuse.
 
I woke up this morning and thought "oh cool I'll check Moz solo and see how the setlist ended up, lol that's if the whole tour didn't just get canc-oh...."

It was only the other day someone was saying how it had to go flawlessly... Sigh.

I've had food poisoning before overseas, it sucks, you puke a lot, you shit a lot...you don't go running back home straight away! "Oh you ran back to Ma.."

I just feel sorry for the South Americans, as an Australian going through so many false starts with tours I know it sucks. Ah well, here's hoping he can combine it with the missed American dates soon and we don't get a "sorry the tour has been canceled because Morrissey has gone on fire".

According to her facebook page she's only had swedish fish and skittles since arriving in South America...clever girl.
 
Anybody can get intoxicated anywhere , don´t blame Peruvian food . It is one of the bests in the world. Thanks
 
Holy shit!!!

I just got home, I was hoping to see some pics from first show...ohhhh! I am shocked (yeah I know, I know)!

Does Morrissey just have bad luck?!?

I hope everyone's ok...this is just pretty crazy
