Royal Albert Hall gig is on!!

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

Those of you who have tickets must be relieved to hear this. I have my fingers crossed for you and Moz that he's well-rested, on good form and that everyone has a lovely time.

depends on what was wrong with him.
if it was food poisoning (for example) and he's clearly got over it, fair enough.
if it was something more serious then it does seem like a bad idea to continue with the tour. I can't decide whether to go...

Why not?

Re: RAH is on!!

Don't want to put a damper on this but are the NME known for their Morrissey scoops.
I'd rather hear it from another source but have to admit I am more than a little excited.

I thinking the same

Doors open 6.45 pm

Morrissey Resumes Tour After On-Stage Collapse
by Meg Ruddick

Former Smiths singer Morrissey is back on his feet again after being released from the hospital yesterday, The Associated Press reports. The 50-year-old singer collapsed on-stage on Saturday the 24th after performing the opening song, "This Charming Man," at the Oasis Leisure Centre in the UK. The singer slumped to the ground at the end of the song and was carried off stage by two of his band mates. No word yet on what caused the collapse, but the singer was in stable condition and was reportedly "much improved" before his discharge. Morrissey postponed his gig tonight in Bournemouth, but confirmed that he will play tomorrow night at London's Royal Albert Hall. His Swords tour is scheduled to continue throughout the UK and Ireland until the end of November.

what thing like food poisoning gives you breathing difficulties though?
I think it's very bad news. I bet he just feels obliged because of the cancellations. I'd rather he waited.

Oh good. I'll look forward to hearing two songs before he staggers offstage again. (I could be wrong, of course - and let's hope I am - but it seems like a terrible idea to be getting back onstage three days after collapsing).

Those word sound like my own...sadly I think the likelihood of him croaking a few notes and disappearing are pretty high.Hope not though.

Well I'm going to be positive and say its all going to be fine, if he didn't think he could get through it then surely he would've cancelled the rest of the tour. Maybe his fainting wasn't as serious as we all thought at the time, it could've been something as simple as not having eaten enough that day or jet lag or anything. The fact is nobody really knows so why not assume the best instead of the worst.
