The Iron Horse (Pines Theatre) site states that the show tomorrow in Northampton, MA is canceled. ---
This announcement follows shortly after the Boston show being cut short due to Morrissey's illness (throat, according to Boston post-show reports). --- Update: 06/27 15:56 GMT: Philadelphia postponement and statement now posted on the site Iron Horse: Morrissey *** Show Postponed *** The Pines Theatre June 27 • 7 pm Morrissey regrettably had to end his show at Boston's Bank Of America Pavillion last night after 30 minutes due to a throat infection that made it impossible for him to continue. The audience of almost 5000 strong experienced a fantastic opening 7 numbers that included classics The Queen Is Dead and The Last Of The Famous International Playboys. In the intro to National Front Disco Morrissey explained to the audience that he was ill and said "unfortunately it will not just be the emotions cracking tonight but my voice as well." Three songs later he was unable to continue and the show came to a cose. Morrissey was seen by a doctor immediately and put under strict orders not to sing for 3 days. As a result the shows in Northampton, Mass tonight and Philadelphia on Friday night have also been postponed. It is hoped that new dates will be announced for each city in the next 48 hours. All tickets will be honoured for the new dates. The tour will continue in New York at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night as scheduled. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

Still this is the THIRD concert that I have had tickets to where Morrissey has cancelled. I have no idea what the situation is with him. Is he a perfectionist. This is absolutely as un-punk as you can get. All of his heroes (NY Dolls, Patti Smith, etc.) played no matter what their voice was like. Be like your role-models Morrissey - at least try.....
Also, I don't remember the Smiths cancelling a lot of dates because of any "problems." Am I wrong or is this truly a Morrissey-Solo problem?
Look, you can judge me for being a little pissed off, and I get it, if he can't sing, he can't sing: but he just had 2 weeks off...
In the recent Q and A from true to you he said he didn't do anything to help his voice. So, Morrissey, start doing something. Take care of yourself more, I don't know. This is just....it just sucks

I am wary of ebay cos we don't have an address to get the tickets sent to - anyone know of any fan sites where tickets might be available? Ideally I am looking for somewhere thrustworthy to buy two e-tickets - if thats not too naive of me
As I say any help would be appreciated.

Also they WAY he uses his voice every night....he does give his best.
I do know some other artists who cancel the show because they have a touch of headache.
Yes the fans will be disappointed but it's a bit like a cancelled train - you just cannot do anything about it there and then. We're all human...
Hope he will be FIGHTING FIT soon.

the touring lives of BOB DYLAN and Morrissey (Score:1)
i feel for morrissey...he loves to perform...that is his life...and if thats taken away from him we all know that it must affect him.
my question is how & why so often does he morrissey cancel a show? is his voice so fragile? is morrissey more likely to be ill than others?
i mention bob dylan in my subject b/c he is an ARTIST who has toured for YEARS and his cancellations are far and few between. go to bob dylan tour guides and you will see.
i am not saying one artist is better than the other. i just dont see how it is that a 60yr old man can tour 100 shows a year for 10yrs and not cancel nearly as often as morrissey.
i am not judging or critizing...just asking.
discuss and/or cuss...
still a fan...from canada.

Moz is in a new era where he actually realizes the disappointment of a cancelled show. I once DROVE from Austin to Vegas for the man, spent a week there, people started filing in, and at the last minute we were told the show was cancelled.
Well, I have forgiven Moz (took me a good year tho)
Be grateful he even TRIED to do the show, told you all he was sick, and has given previous warnings about future cancelled shows..

This truly SUX (Score:0)
People are just unreliable, untrustworthy, uncaring and insensitive. Never trust anyone and take care of your business yourself. Bottom line, musicians can't really be trusted because they are only in it for the one thing...money. Be honest. That's what the business is all about. No real musician truly expresses their gratefulness to their fans who MADE them or uses internal emotionalisms anymore. That's BEEN over. It's such a damn shame too....
What also sux is how bands & solo-musicians claim how they are in it for those reasons (being thankful for their fans, expressing their emotionalisms) but, they could care LESS about us because look how hard it is to even shake that person's hand. Money changes people. It always wil. Why do you all think there's security people, backstage passes and vip things? It's b/c money changes people. Golden Lights....sorry but, that's reality.
I don't know about you all but, I've lost a lot of fans in bands recently. They've all just become pompous blowhards w/ egos the size of hot-air balloons. Do you really think they give a damn about us? They do in one respect....for us to give them our hard earned money. Be reasonable and THINK before you buy anything on a band. Use your hard-earned money more wisely like, buying a house, taking a well-deserved holiday or reducing debt. Plus, the people in the gig scene the bands themselves and groupies, are all pretentious shits that have to have constant recognition, validation and acceptance from us fans because they know internally they truly SUCK.
It blows too since, we've all waited a LONG time here in Philly for him to perform here. Remember back in 1992, when he walked off the stage at the Electric Factory show declaring he'll never play here again? Now, look, 15 years later.....
Plans are truly RUINED now. What to do on this Friday night? I don't know about you all but, I'm sure as hell not going to sit around and watch the Letterman performance. Ode to beer.
If he does reschedule, let's hope too, they give some advance notice for people that have a life outside of going to gigs (it's called growing up & getting a life).
This truly SUX but, I'm going to think much harder next time before shelling out money and wasting time at work by buying tickets, books, dvds, cds, etc on ANY band. Think about it....
