Williams was actually due to have an operation to solve his ulcer problem, but it has been said that he couldn't face the intrusiveness of such an operation, and subsequently chose to take his own life instead. I was going to write a parody piece about Morrissey's illness today, which I may still write later this week if I get the chance, but the whole 'Bleedin' Ulcer' thing has struck me as VERY Kenneth Williams, who suffered dreadfully from stomach ulcers and was known to be in considerable pain from them before he died. Despite all the shit that Morrissey is always given by the users of the 'Scum Cesspit' website ( if you are new to these parts) every time he cancels a concert, perhaps Mozzer felt that he just couldn't let his audiences down by cancelling the tour, especially having already postponed it once, or perhaps he just didn't want to admit to himself that he was ill, or maybe he thought the pain would go away! It comes as NO surprise to us MorrisseysWorlders that Morrissey has been taken ill, because in the MW chat room, before the tour even started, Our Mozzer told those present, that he was thinking of cancelling the tour because he didn't feel well. We don't of course know which members of the band were affected/infected the worst, but Boz Boorer had NOT worn the face mask in Columbus, so presumably he was getting better. Goodnight Mike, sweet dreams.īefore Morrissey's Thursday night's concert in Flint was called off, it was initially brought forward by an hour, but presumably the sickness bug on the tour bus just made playing impossible.
#What is beez in the trap mean skin#
Two things are instantly noticeable about Lauren's twitter profile picture (above), firstly, she is doing the devil horn sign that was often portrayed on the MorrisseysWorld blog, and secondly, she is wearing an outfit not dissimilar to the one worn by the woman who kissed Moz in Atlanta, or wherever it was, six or seven years ago! What IS it with Moz and cheetah/leopard skin clad women? I hope for Lauren's sake that it's not real or her chances of issuing another statement on Morrissey's behalf will be about the same as 'Lawnmower' Mike Joyce's chances of ever drumming for The Smiths again.Īnd very briefly on the subject of 'Lawnmower Mike', before I start on far more important subjects, he has recently been quoted in The Sun, telling the story of a dream he has had, where The Smiths reform and open their first concert with 'Hand in Glove.' He also tells The Sun that he is now "a much better player than I was." What Joyce DIDN'T explain in the article, is that he tried to shaft Morrissey for a million pound, and that it is now 'records' he plays, and NOT the drums! I guess 'Lawnmower Mike' should just 'Carry On Dreaming', and let Anthony Burulcich continue to keep the beat to whatever Smiths songs Morrissey (the writer of the said Smiths songs, which actually are Morrissey songs, not Smiths songs) decides to sing. It was further stated that the tour will be resuming in Las Vegas on Saturday February 9th. Lauren's statement said that Morrissey was being treated for a suspected bladder infection, but on Sunday, a further statement from Papapietro confirmed that Morrissey in fact had a bleeding ulcer and that six further concerts would therefore be postponed. All then went quiet for a day, until a statement was issued by Morrissey's publicist, Lauren (not Laura as reported in most media publications) Papapietro on Saturday afternoon, that Morrissey had been admitted into the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, about 60 miles south of Flint. Shortly after the announcement that the three concerts were off, it was announced by Kristeen Young that her mother had sadly passed away.
THE MORRISSEY BAND TOUR BUS, PARKED UP IN A LAYBY IN FLINT LAST THURSDAY It would appear from Thursday onwards, as the Morrissey tour bus was parked in Flint, things went from bad to worse.
So, where were we? The MorrisseysWorld blog and twitter account remain closed (although is still active, but unused since early Friday), and in my last blog entry on Friday, I mentioned that Morrissey had been forced to cancel the Thursday night concert in Flint because of band illness, and was also postponing the concerts that were due to take place on the Friday and Saturday in Minneapolis and Chicago.
