Picked this up from Music365. Even though it may make sense, I have no idea how NME "understands" that Moz decided not to play due to the venue being an old slaughterhouse, and not for the original reason stated. I guess NME knows everything.

Morrissey Refuses To Play German Slaughterhouse

MORRISSEY refused to play a gig in Germany last week because it was booked to take place in a converted slaughterhouse.

Devout vegetarian Morrissey refused to perform at the aptly named Dresden Slaughterhouse on October 18, pulling out hours before he was due onstage.

The former Smiths singer's agent Mike Hinc told British music magazine NME that the reason for the cancellation was because of the layout of the venue. He said: "There was no direct access to the stage, we couldn't put our lights up and it was just the wrong shape. It just couldn't be done".

The NME however, understands that Morrissey cancelled because he only realised the venue was a converted slaughterhouse when he arrived and became increasingly squeamish about the gig until he finally decided not to play.

"Frankly Vulgar" has already 5 songs of the Santa Barbara Show (October 6th). The quality is not good, but for the ones who didn't have the chance to be there or at any other show (me included) this is as good as it gets...

Attached is a flyer about the show The Salford Lads are playing on Thursday, Oct 28 at Barnard College in NYC.

On the 10th of November 11pm-2am (after the Moz gig in Leeds) there will be an evening of pure Smiths and Morrissey music at the Phono nightclub. The club is just around the corner from the T&C, in the Merrion center, entrance £2.50. Mail me for more info.
