Ongoing medical problems are being cited as the reason Morrissey has been forced to cancel his U.S. tour. The singer was treated for double pneumonia in San Francisco on March 10th and had to cancel his SF concert as well as his gig headlining the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on March 14th. Following those cancellations, an official statement was released saying he is not able to continue the tour.
From Morrissey’s official website:
“It takes a lifetime to find the right words, and at the moment, I haven’t got them. I’ve been a colossal pain where this continuously unpredictable illness is concerned, and now the physical limits have been reached. The tour had, in fact, been fantastic for all of us – a new slice of life full of concentrated power. The audiences everywhere have given so much, although I know that neither of us will ever receive our due.
I hope this isn’t the end, and I hope there will be other chances, minus the heavy burden of illness. Knots of grief today, but full of resolve for tomorrow.” – Morrissey, Mexico, 16 March.
