You accuse me of being obsessed with the guy. Yet this isn't the first time you've tagged me in a post, trying to get a response. Since Feb 12th, I've posted in here 4 times. Make up your mind.

Be doing the world a favour.

Just fucking found out…….. so this is my 13th cancellation!
At least I didn’t need a flight to Boston!

So how come the New York gig took place 2 nights ago?
Some twat online makes a threat - a bullshit threat - gets arrested and bailed and is deemed as a credible threat.

The lunatics are winning!!!

My current score -
The Smiths 5 times
Morrissey 61 times
Cancelled 13 times

Apparently Morrissey cancelled because he discovered he has a stalker

Johnny Marr is playing Castlefield Bowl on July 9th 2026.
Pre sale is 10am on Wednesday with general sale on Friday.

EDIT: and support are Everything Everything who I love, but I guess they are a bit of an acquired taste.

Wonder if Dave Haslam will try and get this pulled.

I don't think Dave would have any issues with any of Johnny's views. He seems to get on with most people given his choice to collaborate with a wide range of people (he's all over the new Gorillaz album, so must get on with Damon Albarn, for example).
In recent interviews he still seems passionate about veganism, running, guitars and Manchester as a city. He only really seems to get angry when The Smiths' back catalogue gets misused by politicians, or when David Cameron declared himself a fan!

Probably some fucker that's been cancelled on about 13 times has had enough and wants to shoot him....

More cancellations. How do you cancel with extreme exhaustion? Would you not know the week before if you were mildy exhausted and had to travel to Mexico it might have been best not to have planned any mid-long distance travel. Shite, my exhaustion is extreme now, not gonna make it. I blame Mike Joyce.

He doesn't know what the word exhaustion means. He is just a first class ....

Just seen the Smyths
Supported by a Billy Bragg tribute act who sounded eerily identical to the real thing

There in no doubt he is ill so just retire from playing live concerts and concentrate on recording. Stop fucking around with people. Start thinking about others for once

Lets try not to jump to conclusions since the media don't really seem to know much yet.

Please stick to facts for now, not rumours.

I'm not jumping to conclusions. The info is out there and his track record on cancellations is getting worse

I’m booking flights to Tampa this weekend to see him in St Petersburg in January.
For the first time in my life I am adding insurance to the cost of the flight…..

Will it be solo gig number 62 or cancellation number 14?
