I think people might be waiting to see if he actually is going to appear before making plans for this one. The whole thing just seems so out of the blue and un-Morrissey. Chance of cancellation >50%.
This is pretty vile. It certainly doesn't belong as the headline news story on a Morrissey site.
Tool. An apt name for someone who would make up such a story just to denigrate another artist.
Here's my theory.
Morrissey, or his tour manager, runs the numbers for what they expect to net from the trip, and makes the decision about whether to play the show or not. This is why these one-off gigs which are a fairly long distance apart end up routinely being cancelled. The logistics...
It's puzzling. So much love and goodwill from the fans...for simply caring enough to change up 2 of the songs on the setlist. Then he blows it away again by cancelling NZ. One step forwards, two leaps back. With his career barely hanging on, he can't possibly afford to keep disappointing, or...
I can't believe that Moz is so naive as to actually believe that what the artist wants matters when it comes to contract law. She is contractually obligated such that any material she records is owned by Columbia. Columbia were not willing to give the green light to her performance on a...
19 songs.
9 singles,
4 classic songs that were not singles but are widely regarded as Morrissey's best,
1 older B-side,
2 songs off of the last 2 released albums,
3 unreleased songs.
For 40 years of Morrissey, I'd say the setlist covers it quite well. It's never been his thing to mix...
Not surprised Morrissey has chosen to go down this path. The left who supported him all those years have abandoned and discredited him, leaving the crazies and race-baiters to court his favour and given him the respect he feels he deserves. The departure of his long-time band-mates like Boz...
A couple points to consider:
1. The holdup for BOT is likely nothing to do with the content of BOT, but more likely a result of contractual disputes involving Miley Cyrus' record label, to which Miley's backup vocals on 'Veronica' technically are 'owned' by her label, who don't wish to release...
I don't believe that's the reason the album is being held back at all. There are legal discussions going on between Miley's record company and Capitol, over the use of her vocals on the album. Miley's record company wants a cut because her 'work' is contracted to them. Capitol are holding out...

The version played most recently had Miley on backup vocals piped in, which has to be one of the oddest combinations that Morrissey's ever been involved in.
Pathetic to see the Independent using their headlines as a means to troll Morrissey, instead of saying anything worthwhile about either Rick Astley or Blossoms. While it's designed to be hurtful and cruel, I'm hoping Moz doesn't fall for their game and make another comment that will be reported...
