Nope, I have to admit to not reading that far. So indeed I’m the ****.

But the bold text headline text sort of showed where it was going and not much chance of an unbiased opinion.

 

Possibly similar to an anti Brexit journalist reviewing an Iron Maiden gig😃

 

Always vote Green or Labour, voted to remain and I’m not English in case anyone thought I was nudged towards voting Reform.

You've let us down, you've let yourself down, but most of all you've let Morrissey down.

Nice review of Mozz’s new album I’ve just read; nothing there that I disagree with…

“Make-Up Is a Lie” underscores perfectly the widening gulf between being a fan of Morrissey and rooting for the man himself. It is a collection of tracks that underachieves in every category other than self-obsessed bellyaching. A Paste review pulls no punches: “Morrissey really has outdone himself with this one, shattering all preconceived notions of his modern mediocrity. We expected something anodyne and forgettable, but what we received was far worse: an actively terrible album. Do not listen to it.”

Just heard Notre-Dame on Spotify Release Radar and liked it. Then saw it was by Morrissey. Should I be ashamed?

Dunno. It’s a good tune. The words are nonsense though, which is fine, many great songs have nonsense words… and that it is promoting a conspiracy about Muslims might be seen as provocative role playing… if it wasn’t for his open support for people and parties promoting hatred of Muslims.

Anyway, this sums up the cancelled angle well for me…

First cancelled gig of the tour (he doesn’t want you to use the world cancelled though). Will it be the last (I’m not taking bets)?

He seems to be doing a good job of cancelling himself 😁

Too tired

"indescribable hell. It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement".

Sounds like there’s more than one gig that will be “rendered impossible.”

just a continuing trend - has cancelled half of his previous 100 gigs apparently 

 

‘the show must go on!’ As they say in showbiz

Give that man a newborn baby to snap him back to reality 😅

Was this a press statement? or his trip advisor review?

To be fair - Milan to Valencia is a very long drive and a bad night's sleep on top of that will leave you shattered. Playing a gig is an intense physical activity esp if you're not a young man any more...

He cancels himself so much that there is a website that tracks how many gigs he has failed to show up for:

Every date that Morrissey has ever cancelled - WeHeartMusic

 

33% cancelled so far in 2026.

Milan - Monday March 9th

Valencia - Thursday March 12th.

Milan to Valencia is 1319km, over 3 working days really.
