Morrissey alluded to a physical problem in recent years when he opened his concert in Brooklyn on 30 November 2022 by singing "I lost my voice in San Franciso" (to the tune of I Left My Heart In San Francisco) , which I took as an explanation for the cancellation of five concerts between Brooklyn and the San Francisco one. I was wondering how he'd manage to sing something with high notes such as Come Back To Camden nowadays, so if he's been rehearsing for the upcoming tour it might have caused a strain.
I didn't take the Central message from Paris 'Doing Nothing' literally but as a reference to a Gertrude Stein quote 'It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing'.
