Last nights gig in Tucson becomes the 3rd gig on the spin to be cancelled…… rumours about the rest of the US dates are to be pulled. That will be cancellation number 12 for me…..

At his age he's picked far too many dates for him to complete in the US/UK/Euro.
Got a ticket for Rome in late July so I hope he's fully recovered by then.

I think the musicians are a bit limited and don’t get to rehearse much so just trot out the same songs. I mean “The Loop’ come on moz you can do better than that.

A bit harsh I think, individually they have all played in other well known bands. The issue is Morrissey (when is it not the case!)
His voice seems to get better as he gets older but he is limited to what he can sing, certainly not so much the high falsetto tunes lol.

True. I see he has cancelled the whole US tour now.

I hope it didn’t involve air fares etc. Always a risk with him.

It does.
I’m flying to Tampa on Saturday to see Billy Idol that evening and was staying for the week to see Morrissey next Friday and originally flying back Saturday at 12 noon.

As soon as it became cup final day I knew I’d have to change the flight so on Sunday with the kick off time released, I lost $67 on that first flight and paid $109 to fly at 4pm (9pm UK).

Now with Morrissey not playing I am going to fly back on Tuesday or Wednesday, current prices from $130……..

Yes, they flew from blighty to the USA and were flying in the USA.
Out of interest, are you based in the USA? And if so are internal flights generally cheaper than the UK?

Yes I’m in Vermont. My original flight from Hartford, Connecticut returned was $146 but that’s just an unreserved seat (on my own so don’t need to book one, small carry on back pack so don’t need luggage.
If you book early it is cheap.
Haven’t booked a Euro flight in years but once flew from Hamburg to Manchester via Dublin.
Each flight was 1 Euro cent plus €6 tax to Dublin and €9 to Manchester! That was 2007 though!
