I wonder he did catch something after walking around New York with no vest on?.

My thoughts. He is not 52 anymore.

 

[Loulou]

I’m here is SGP having flown over for the gig.
Gutted.

 

[Lincoln Nebraska]

you need to just stop touring at this point, moz. you obviously can't hack it and it's unfair to your fans.

The entire scene is old hat now. 8 months of the same badly played songs wheeled out night after night. Multiple cancellations for unconfirmed reasons, fans clutching at the hope of something long since passed.

 

[Lincoln Nebraska]

Well, just burned flights and accommodation at Singapore. Thanks Moz but this joke isn't funny anymore, it's too close to home and too near the bone.

Enjoy that fantastic city, it's a delight. You haven't missed anything, watch the Moz show on the Web, would have been the same as any of the previous 25 shows

After The Nottingham Incident, people really need to consider whether travelling to see Morrissey live is worth the risk. This is a man who thinks nothing of cancelling gigs about 8 hours before the doors were due to open, without offering any explanation or apology.
Unless he is playing somewhere close enough that you don’t need to book a hotel, don’t go. Stay at home, watch that gig on YouTube someone posted the other day.

It’s sad, but that’s where we’re at: seeing Morrissey wasn’t without risk when I was young free and single. But when you’re taking kids (which I’ve been doing since 2018), cancellations can really hit the pocket. I imagine there are a number of fans now, of a certain age, who recognise that particular dilemma.

Oh Morrissey, what are you doing? Please at least make a public statement. This looks so bad.

"due to technical issues and reasons beyond our control"

Jesus, people on here need to get a f***in grip..

Dengue!!!!!!!!

Morrissey is such an asshole

Even if he deigns to show up, he's walked off stage and left a few songs in

Oh, wow New Member, thanks for that bit of advice

I think it's you who needs to get a grip. That's a phrase that's practically used for all situations. Doesn't mean he is absolved from all blame. Try not to believe everything you read or hear.

 

[Harsh Truth]

Strange there was a full week's gap between Singapore (11/9) and the next show in Hong Kong (11/16). Could that play into it? Anyone know where Moz is now?

 

[gashonthenail]

'technical issues and reasons beyond our control' = poor ticket sales?

 

[theprivilegeismine]

On November 1 he posted a photo of gig posters on a HK street on Central. If that means he was there, then has he known about this since then?

Definitely right about go and enjoy Singapore. I would never plan to travel long-distance to see any artist unless I was happy just to go and visit that place regardless and spend the weekend there - any show can be cancelled.

I don't travel long distances to see Morrissey anymore (except for Vegas last year) but when I jaunt down to NYC to see him I always look up other venues and clubs and try to identify a backup show to see in the event of cancellation.

Has this 40 years of Morrissey actually started?

Technical issues=Lack of interest.
