All UK/European gigs postponed due to "logistical circumstances beyond our control" - management

As I mentioned earlier today, this has now come to pass.

'Logistical issues'.

Look what Morrissey could have had if hadn’t have been such a gobshite, Paul Heaton and Jaquie Abbot at Castlefied on Friday night.

I can just imagine the average age on the night.

LOL

I never quite could respect people that continue going out even when they've aged. I think deep down the swedish model is best where turning 40 you simply ban yourself from ever having fun again in a public place.
The brits are making complete tits of themselves all over the world.
Worst of the lot are musicians with their girlfriends that could have been their grandchildren. Like being at a teen disco at the age of 40+.
Whatever happened to ageing with grace?

I love that second to last paragraph of the statement. It reminds me of some kind of spin concocted by a politicians aid.

Yeah give it 6 months Morrissey let it all blow over and hopefully you'll sell an extra 800-1000 tickets come November/December time.

Saw him here in salt lake, USA last year, what a joke of a concert. Before he came on n stage, nothing but politics, trump hate, etc. I dont care about all that, was hoping for great Smiths/Morrissey music, but instead left the venue not happy, wondering what happened to the music I loved. If he were to tour as the Smith's, no politics, and came out every night regardless of temperature, image the fan base that would flock.

The people who would go to a blatant nostalgia tugging cash grab like that could go flock themselves.

That echo in Dalhalla is probably never gonna end.

I was listening to Back on the chain gang cover, and heard the line: "A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh"... Gosh.
