looking forward to this one, hope he keeps skull at the end and shuffles the middle about a wee bit

Come on Moz 9 thousand people there. Song and a half and you go off. Get a grip the bottle did not hit you. Drama queen or what. Sorry mate this is it after so many conerts called off or going off after one song I am calling it quits. No more gigs for me.

Just had a couple of texts from mates at the arena; he did 1 song, some prick lobbed a bottle of beer at his head. Moz walked off and didn't come back on. Deary me!

you stupid cunt, who threw the beer? fucking mongo.

they allow beer bottles in venues over there still? That's real smart..

come on youve got to be kidding!

yeah its official walked off,some tool through a glass bottle at him,he did the right thing by walking off.

It was my little girls 1st ever gig, and a gift for her 8th birthday. I'd just like to say to the prick who made her cry and ruined her night hope you're happy, you cock.

Bottle hit NOOOOOOO. A bit of beer yes!!!

Surely people around this TWAT knew him and could have dragged him out so the gig carried on if Moz felt up to it, knowing he'd been escorted out.

I have given up my tickets reluctantly to my son and his girlfriend (19), their 1st time of seeing Moz and this shit happens.

I can understand Moz going off, I just hope hes not badly injured, its such a shame for people who love Moz who have travelled so far to adore listening to his amazing music.

I am sickened that someone mongrel can go to a gig buying tickets just to abuse the artist.

Just received text from my friend (phcbr6) at the show stating that Moz was hit in the head by a bottle. He walked off during Black Cloud. Hit in the head!!! What the fuck?

Please give this bastard up if you know who did it.

Feeling very sick and ill tonight.

NO MORE.

I can't imagine what anyone felt as they witnessed this idiotic display of fandom...disgusting, makes me sick to tears.

We hope he is okay, and this fucking lowlife is apprehended.

 

if this tour successfully rolls into California.

I'm really conflicted about this - I sort of admire him for his stance but on the other hand he's let a lot of people down. We paid face value and drove 10 minutes to get there but a lot of people paid a lot more for travel etc. If it had been a glass bottle then fair enough, but it wasn't. And to think his opening words were "It's Saturday night, it's Liverpool, it's raining and it's perfect"!

Someone launches a missile at Morrissey's head and HE'S the asshole for being upset and walking off? Amazing.

To walk out on the show.

The U.S. still loves you.

Nobody can blame Morrissey for walking off stage and not coming back after that. He has already collapsed on stage once this tour. I can't imagine a beer bottle to the head would be a positive step towards avoiding a second on stage collapse.

Morrissey has always attracted the crazies...

-Lucas

So which is it? A plastic bottle hit his head or just a little bit of beer? Either way, probably should have continued the show, but we know Moz is touchy like that. My condolences to those who went to the show.

Just got back from the Echo Arena and am ashamed to be a scouser. From where I was sitting it looked like a bottle and it hit Morrissey right on the head. I don't blame him for not continuing I blame the idiot who threw the bottle and the Echo arena for allowing people into the arena with glass bottles.

Morrissey if your reading this not all scousers have their brains between their legs.

the bottles in the echo are made of plastic, to let you know.

Guess he is doing his tours of refusal, as something is hitting his scull, and now he is leaving under a Black cloud. Not good mate. I was there up front. No need you are a professional you can not let your fans down.

Moz will suffer minor amnesia from the blow and permanently forget the words to Crashing Bores.

There were a lot of people walking around the Echo Arena this evening with glass bottles of Carling.

Well, he came back , didn't he ??? So , stop arguing , will you ?

Best news ever!!

Hit by a bottle lol. Hes a baby.

Morrissey came out and said:
"Good evening, it's Saturday, it's raining, it's Liverpool and it's perfect", then did a great rendition of This Charming Man.
Then Black Cloud, halfway through a plastic pint glass was thrown, hitting Moz on the head. He said "Goodbye" then left, with the band following. The person who threw it was ejected and after about ten minutes someone come and said "Morrissey was struck by a bottle of beer. This concert will not take place."

So for the actions of one person Morrissey has punished 20,000. I can understand him being annoyed, but storming off like a child and letting so many of his fans down is seriously out of order, especially as the prick who threw the bottle was ejected.

A major let down, and probably the last time I waste my money on Morrissey.

For those of you who were not there, the gig upto that point was awesome. The crowd (bar 1 person) were fantastic & the band were sounding great. I just hope that the Liverpool public is not all tarred with the same brush as the moron who threw the bottle. The fact is, 1 person ruined it for the crowd & also Morrissey himself, who was really up for it. I hope the Echo Arena release a proper press release (not just refunds given etc) saying what happens to the offender as this will hopefully stop othe rpeople in the future destroying nights for true fans.

It was a plastic pint glass

fucking joke plastic beer pint hit him on head wet his hair no more, last time i buy or see anything ripping innocent people off for one idiot i've seen that happen a hundred times to moz and a lot of bands, taking the piss give up sad twat, really dissapointed £300 for fuck all, grow up, biggest fan to hatter in one x

It wasn't a beer bottle, just a plastic cup and Morrisey's hair got wet.

It was a plastic cup!!!
I am sure that it bounced off his shoulder and about half of a cup of beer flew all over his quiff!!!

I had perfect view!!!

Exageration !!

But any one who has half a brain cell knows that if you hurl anything at mozza he will throw a strop????

Good job he changed the tour name from refusal!!

Ok I have forked out for the tickets, will get the money back no problem. However I am down £130 train fair from London and £70.00 hotel room. Could have stayed home and watched Jedward on X Factor.

Morrisey is not in touch with his working class fan base. My 18 old daughter paid £50 for a train ticket to come down from Edinburgh university and another £50 from her student loan for the concert ticket, just to be disappointed by Morrisey abandoning the gig because of being showered with beer ( He kept singing for another 3 mins and no bottler hit his head). Get real Morrisey and appreciate your true fans.

Standing near the front it was clear that Morrissey was hit by a plastic water bottle and not a beer bottle. I imagine Morrissey was shocked but once off stage could have composed himself and got a grip. It was a mean thing for an idiot to do but having wateched Morrissey live since 1984 it is one hiccup in thousands of live shows frequented by the adoring. Thousands were sent home disappointed and for what?

Granted, I am sitting at my computer in North Carolina, but I really do understand why Moz would cancel and storm off. I would do exactly the same thing, but surely a refund will be offered.

As for the ogre that threw the bottle (regardless of construction or contents), he is a complete dolt and though I don't think calling for his death is the right move, but I think whipping his ass or shitting on his chest is amble punishment.

Morrissey came on. Seemed really positive and up for it. Played This charming man, spending lots of time touching peoples hands, working the crowd really well. Sounded good. Started black cloud. Still close to the standing crowd. Stepped back slightly and someone in the first three or four rows launched a full plastic bottle of beer ( I hope) that hit him fullon the side of the head and splashed ale all over his head and shirt. He stopped and walked off with band. Thirty minutes of security having discussions with front three rows of crowd while highly distressed people around me suggested increasingly gruesome genitali-related punishments for beer-chucked. I gave up and came home. Think I'll watch the boxing. Sigh.

Despite the Morrissey standard line that he doesn't care about his fans. He does. He doesn't need to tour anymore, he is doing it for us. He picks songs he thinks we will like, and he wants us to enjoy the show.

I feel really sorry for him that so called 'fans' feel the need to abuse him. Its just the sort of Morrissey solo anonymous abuse manifested into physical form that sent him off tonight, in the words of his current album,

If you dont like me, then dont look at me,

exactly, to the pissed up cunt who through the bottle, stay at home, put queen is dead on and drink till you shit your pants reminicing about the 'good old days'

and leave the real fans to enjoy the morrissey we love and and adore today.

This is just the sort of shit that will make him retire.

And to all you anonymous batsards that are about to abuse me, go ahead, your comments mean nothing, just as you do

Echo Arena spokeman said: "We are reviewing CCTV evidence to ascertain exactly what happened. We have a strict policy of no glasses being allowed in the arena and we also decant all drink from bottles into plastic glasses at events of this kind."

well if you ask me.. the fella who threw the bottle done u all a favour :) hahaha

That’s it. Enough is enough. As if Morrissey doesn’t have enough on his plate … this demented criminal who did this to Morrissey should rot in hell. This isn’t even a human being. Can you imagine the shock if you are up there singing … mind you, Morrissey being as frail and sick as he is, with all of that weight that he has lost as indicated and seen on You Tube. Morrissey struggled to go on tonight, for YOU fans, “fans“. That’s right, Morrissey is very very frail and not well, but through it all -- he managed to attempt a beautiful performance. He does not need the money, he does not need the stress involved, and he certainly does not need to fulfill any obligations to anybody -- anymore. He is exhausted.

I hope there was surveillance, and I hope they find this inhumane worthless pile of garbage (ghetto slime) and lock him or her up in the jail. This, well what transpired tonight is unspeakable and unforgivable. I am Soooo sickened but then again, nothing should surprise me … but this, this I would have never seen coming -- even from the lowest of the low life “fans”. Noooo.

Do you realise that Morrissey could be seriously injured? I do not care if it was plastic or glass. I do not care if it was a paper cup, it is the, the “intent”, the intentions of this “fan”, which in my book, well they are tantamount to a murderer.
I want to know the identity of this cruel, heartless, poisonous snake. That’s right and don’t say that I am overreacting because I am not. No. Morrissey is already sick, and it is highly probable that he has severe migraines and/or other medical complications regarding headaches; therefore any, “any” blow to the head could cause more serious complications. He already collapsed recently and any blow to the head, especially in his guarded condition is not something to say “Big Deal” about. I can only hope it was just a Panic Attack on the 24th but No, it was more serious than a Panic Attack.

This unforgivable horrifying “intent” of this sicko as well as those commenting here actually blaming Morrissey for walking off is indicative of why Morrissey is ashamed of 95% of his fans.

Apparently the show does not actually go on. Like this has not happened before. Have the guy arrested and then go on with the show like most other performing artists would have and/or have done.

Most reports claim that it never even hit him.

Just arrived back in Manchester after the Liverpool 'gig'. A superb venue, laid back people and a great vibe. Bought tickets for £32.50 each from the box office. All very sedate and grown-up. Took our 3 seats in Block 17 lower tier right next to the stage. All the hallmarks of an amazing night. Just after 9pm Moz walks on dressed in a brown suit with flared slacks. He looked the part and really up for it after recent 'disappointments'. This Charming Man rocked the Arena and the sound on Black Cloud was fantastic. Then halfway through the song, a plastic glass of beer (?), flung from about 5 rows back, hit him in the forehead. I think he carried on for another line or two then simply said 'goodbye'. It certainly WAS NOT a bottle that hit him but but the beer did go all over his face and hair. We then had a ridiculous few minutes of his security shining torches into the crowd and people pointing to the offender. The crowd was chanting 'get him out'. I think everyone thought Moz would come back on but security told me he left the venue quite soon after the incident. The lights stayed down. One of the road crew told the crowd Moz wasn't coming back. Boos! Then an official announcement said the same thing over the PA. Cue more boos and the house lights on. Some people headed for the exits, many just hung around. We stayed for about 30 mins then left, the venue was still about a third full. Handed a leaflet saying to contact the venue regarding any possible refunds. The box office had the shutters down. Most people remained really calm although several were shouting and abusing the road crew at the front. One guy broke the cordon and ran backstage to be chased out by security. A mad, mad and very sad night. I've seen Morrissey enough times to know this isn't representative but still truly disappointed ... I think he would have been so warmly received had he resumed the gig but sadly some people will give up on him after tonight. One idiot has wrecked what promised to be such a beautiful evening. Gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't look like a bottle to me. Remember he earned more tonight than any of us earn in a year and when you think of the s**t we sometimes have to take. In the unlikely event I get my money back it will barely cover half of the cost of my evening. After 20 years I am belatedly coming to the conclusion that Morrissey has little respect for his fans.
Feel free to troll me but this is my honest opinion.
Most of us are just happy to get out of Liverpool alive, I don't see the big deal in getting his hair wet.

Up until the incident, Moz was really on form. The crowd (bar one person) were really up for it and it was shaping up to be a fantastic night.

I was near the front when it happened. I think he was bending down to shake hands with someone when it happened. It looked like a plastic water bottle. Hit him on side of head. He stood up and said goodbye.

Security did remove somebody from the audience.

Such a shame that the remaining fans must suffer as the result of one pricks actions

I've seen conflicting reports on how many people were there, so what do you reckon? 6000? 20,000? Somewhere in between?

The extent to which Morrissey's fans will defend their idol is ridiculous. He got showered with a bit of beer from a plastic cup and he calls the WHOLE fucking concert off?? The man has tested my patience to the limit. I will never buy a ticket to see the prima donna again. It's over. Yes the guy who threw the offending 'missile' was obviously a prick, but Morrissey was an even bigger prick by letting thousands of people down because of it. Who the hell does Morrissey think he is?

It was going to be a brilliant night, but unfortunately selfish bastards ruined it.

In the afternoon Ganglord, Ask, Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself, Nowhere Fast were soundchecked.

Morrissey and the Lads were on stage at nine.
He was wearing grey suit and blue checked shirt, the Lads were in white shirt and grey trousers.

Morrissey greeted 'It's Saturday in Liverpool, it's raining, perfect' and started This Charming Man and shooke hands.
He's in a good spirit and sounded great.

When Black Cloud was started Morrissey was walking in the centre of the stage, shaking hand in the middle, then suddenly a selfish bugger threw a cup which hit his head.

As reported Morrissey said good bye and walked off.

Security guards shouted that the culprit should come forward otherwise the gig would be haulted.
People in the middle started shouting at the buggers.
It took about 10 minuites to get the idiot who threw a cup and he was pulled out.
However, there's another one who is a mate of the git, but somehow managed to get away with it.
We were waiting for Morrissey, but sadly the announcement was made that it's over.

It's totally outrageous to throw a thing at someone on stage.
Many people travelled from all over the world to see the final 2009 UK gig.
I'm really shocked to witness what happened and just want to say that these idiots should never be allowed to see any gigs again.

The bottle / plastic glass hit him full on the head. Given that it had to travel however far up to get on to the stage and then to get above his 6 foot ish frame to land on the top of his head it was travelling some when it hit him. God knows what was in it, and why should he carry on. i was there and I was pissed off to say the least, but not with Morrissey. He has not been well and he comes out clearly in a good mood and then some prick does that. Thanks wanker.

i dont know why people are saying it didnt him it did. and it did him on the head i saw it i couldnt have been any closer. i could see the impact, he was clearly shaken about it. its assault i dont blame him for not coming back

really hate them, clap your hands.
