i think he likes the buzz of visiting places,i say it will continue for a few years yet.voice is the best its been so that isn't a problem.
would be interesting to see which country suffers the most cancellations,iv seen him 12 times in Scotland and don't think hes cancelled any shows up here,could be wrong though.
Feels like it. I'm in the US and I'm 3 for 8 seeing Moz (started 0-5 so it has been a good run of late).Isn't it always the American tour that he has trouble finishing?
I kinda miss the cancellations. It doesn't seem right to follow a Morrissey tour and not have at least a few dates blown off. It was part of the charm.
When you dont sell records in the numbers you used to, just like everyone else, only a fool would risk gig paychecks. It is, and always has been, all about the money.
It's about the money, but it's not about benefitting any of his former bandmates. Honestly, his touring is similar to other artists of his age. The Psychedelic Furs seem to have been touring nonstop since the early 2000s. At least Morrissey has written some new songs to play. That's the one thing keeping him from sliding off into legacy act greatest hits territory.If it were, and always were, about The Money, surely he would be faxing Johnny as we speak about The Smiths resumption.
That thing that some around here have been dribbling & dreaming of for decades.
And if it is now the position that it 'always has been' all about cash, then that must make some people feel somewhat bitter as all hell. A whole youth wasted? Etc.

The trouble with a Smiths reunion, is that - whilst there would be a bigger pot - Morrissey would no longer get everything (minus whatever few crumbs he currently throws his session musicians). At best, he'd get 50% in a split with Johnny, and depending on whatever the legal state of the band is, it might be as little as 25%.If it were, and always were, about The Money, surely he would be faxing Johnny as we speak about The Smiths resumption.
He may even get some additional vindictive pleasure in knowing that he is denying a big payday to the other three guys. He can be pretty spiteful.

Nail on head. And at the risk of repeating myself, he's not going to share a stage with anyone. It's not just about the money, it's the whole ego/adulation thing. He's had 30 years of it being all about him, that's not about to change.He may even get some additional vindictive pleasure in knowing that he is denying a big payday to the other three guys. He can be pretty spiteful.

I think that - unless he's super desperate - he's happier touring as a solo artist and pocketing 100% of the profit himself. He may even get some additional vindictive pleasure in knowing that he is denying a big payday to the other three guys. He can be pretty spiteful.

But a fifty percent split of a much larger pot the smiths reunion would bring in would still be more than one earned from a single solo tour making it the better financial option that he hasn’t taken despite pressure to. If he wanted to get around the split thing they could just tour as morrissey and marr play the smiths. Honestly court case aside I don’t know that he thinks about the other members very much. At least not as much as they think and talk about him
