Morrissey cancels US shows
Fat lisping Elvis lookalike, Morrissey, has been forced to cancel two shows of his ten night stint at the Hollywood Palladium this week due to a leaky pipe. Of course, the former Smiths frontman isn’t incontinent, but rather, blighted by a burst water main.
Mozza opened his residency with a hit-laden career spanning show on Monday night, but a burst water main has caused Tuesday’s and Thursday’s (October 4) shows to be cancelled. The show’s promoters Live Nation have said that ticket holders can attend either the October 8 or 9 shows or return them for a refund. Friday’s show will be the next to go ahead as scheduled at the 4,000 capacity venue. Morrissey’s US tour also includes a five night residency at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom in New York later this month. The tour, now 18 months and 177 dates old will close on November 8 in Washington. Good news for Morrissey fans is that a new solo record is planned for release next year.

I saw him perform at the Fillmore last week, and it was a great show. I don’t know about any lisp, but not only is he not fat, he took his shirt off during the show, and the man has 6-pack abs. We should all age so gracefully.
