Not Morrissey but The Smiths at Preston Guildhall, my 3rd Smiths gig, someone threw (what I always thought was a coin) at Morrissey during the first song which was TQID. Morrissey left the stage and the gig was cancelled.
Every big artist has performed notoriously bad shows. For Elvis it’s Houston ‘76; for Oasis, Whiskey-A-Go-Go ‘94. What concerts would you say are among Morrissey’s worst? Whether it would be a poor setlist, bad performance, a walk-off, even. Bonus points if bootlegs exist
The announcement at the end of the video said it was a glass that split his head open so that he had to have stitches.

My horror is managing to get to a show in a good seat and being chucked out. As a new fan who is enjoying the music rather than trying to learn everything, there are many songs I know nothing about. And I like to check information about everything I'm interested in. I have two books about the songs, one by a person he ill-wished. So I had wondered about taking the other book and a torch and dropping down to read up on the songs as they happen! Possibly the Moz encyclopedia as well. Would I get asked to leave for that? I was surprised when he asked the person with the "Bigmouth Indeed" placard to leave another show....how about rising above things like a true professional? I also like the old Smiths footage where he has left the stage because of audience behaviour and Johnny really fights his corner.
