So no new album and now the tour is falling apart?

Feels like Groundhog Day.

calm down, gaylord.

Alain's post earlier could be prophetic...

I guess there were no outdoor clothing stores to buy mittens and polar fleece zip up hoodies close by.

Oh dear. Could be anything. Sorry to hear this for the fans looking forward to the shows. Believe me when I say, don’t make plans to see Moz (if you’re traveling) unless you’re going to a place you want to visit anyway. That way, if he cancels, you’ll still have something to do and look forward to.

Let me echo your warm thoughtful sentiments, hand in glove. The American leg is looking to be working out expensive, for the band, and for fans. It's a shame, but who can help being sick? Whoever's down this time, may they recover fully and fast.

For anyone who's travelled to Utah, has time on their hands and is wondering what to do, the Dry Bar Comedy sessions might be worth checking out, in nearby Provo - https://store.drybarcomedy.com/pages/provo

If you're sitting in your hotel room twiddling your thumbs or the remote, Ari Shaffir's show Jew is smart and quirky and up on YouTube -

I hope that's oat milk. I think the band is vegan.

 

[Famous when dead]

Jesse, Brendan & Alain both active in the last hour.
No indication of which person's "health" is concerning as of yet.
FWD.

(Assuming it's not Alain's foot...)

I desperately need a holiday away from the noise. Got any recommendations?

With Moz…I’ve got nothin’

This news comes as no surprise to me. I’ve had a bad feeling about this tour since M walked off stage last week.
I suspect , as already posted , that it’ll probably be M that has problems and is now willing to throw the band under the bus to save himself.
Who ever is Bad fettle, I wish them a speedy recovery.

It's not specific, but I think the phrase "band illness" could include Morrissey. Whether it's Morrissey, the band, or the entire group who's sick... it doesn't really change anything.... the shows are just as canceled. I don't think any cancellations save Morrissey no matter how they're announced - people will be upset and ultimately blame him anyway.

If he or the band has the flu I caught a few weeks ago... they will probably cancel more than 2 shows...

 

[Harsh Truth]

Boz Boorer once played a tour with a fractured arm, and I also recall him on stage with a surgical mask for a few dates years back. That's the right mentality.

 

[bredbasket]

I doubt M is actually sick, he's more likely to cry that HE'S the one sick.

Inactivity from Juan makes me think he caught something.

Knutson looking like a hipster trying to bring back Salford Docks.

wearing the worlds biggest jacket in a nice prince of wales check.

 

[gordyboy9]

Not to be insensitively insulting but if I saw your man looking like that in a park I'd keep a tight hold on my kids hands. He's like Uncle Fester.

could do a lot of flashing in that coat,filthy beast.

 

[Jeremy in SLC]

LOL. I'm 2 for 5 for Moz shows (all in Colorado). Didn't bother buying tickets to this tour due to the last time when he cancelled after we were in the venue. Happy to say I'm still 2 for 5 and not 2 for 6.

But maybe of ticket sales were higher, he would have played??

[Mayfly]

Aren’t they contractually obliged to find a replacement for an ill band member?
Remember what happened to Alain in 2004 and Solomon in 2014?
Well, I guess these causes were more serious because they cancelled shows due to Gustavo falling ill a few years ago.

We live in sickly times; let’s hope the guys bounce back for Friday’s event.

We remain haunted by the phantom album. The lack of solid details around Bonfire surely exacerbates unavoidable cancellations. I hope that this era of undecidables draws to a close eventually.

Was looking forward to the Denver show, would've been my first (and probably only) Morrissey concert.

Problem is all you're doing is suspecting a lot but you don't actually know.

 

[NealCassidy]

I thought all of these reasons actually meant depression on M’s part but maybe not

Nah, it's all part of being a Morrissey fan!
