Perhaps the only thing more emotionally distraught than a Morrissey fan at a Morrissey concert is a Morrissey fan learning the Morrissey concert has been canceled. Alas, Angelenos planning on seeing Moz November 24 at Staples Center have some sad news to contend with: The singer has postponed the remainder of his fall U.S. tour.
According to Pop & Hiss, the postponement is due to Morrissey's mother's illness.
Show promoter Goldenvoice says the shows will be rescheduled, and ticket holders should expect details on the new dates soon--so hang on to those tickets!
There were 22 shows left on the tour that are now slated to be rescheduled.
