Morrissey collapses on stage in Swindon - Saturday 24th October
FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Hope he's okay, but it's getting a bit daft now.........
I was at the Camden Roundhouse on the night he walked off stage after three songs.
Then I had tickets to see him in London at the start of the year, cancelled due to illness and now I guess I won't be seeing him at the 02 Academy Bournemouth either.
It's been 4 years since I saw him now, but not through want of trying!

"There was a wait of about 25 minutes before one of the stage crew came on and said Morrissey had left the building, and that he was seriously ill. Everybody started booing"
They drive a hard bargain.
Living past 50 would harm his legendary status, let's be honest.
I dream about him dying a lot, actually. Well, i say dreaming, more have nightmares. He's pretty much my favourite person in the world. People like that rarely reach pension-age. Perhaps it's for the best. RIP, Stuart, you were a great woman.
Who's Stuart?
umm...
perhaps i was perhaps being a bit too sarcastic/silly for my own good.
Probably being a drama queen.
If I was going to die (and of course, I am going to)
I'd quite like to be while performing 'This Charming Man', which is quite clearly the best song ever written.
But not when performed by Jesse Tobias
who completely rips all the goodness out of the music with his powerchord arrangement.
I was at Birmingham on Friday
Explains why he seemed a little subdued, and why the set seemed pretty short.
but...
in Swindon Leisure Centre?
:(
I'm completely perplexed by the love for this guy
he's clearly a total cockend.
Shut up, you stupid cunt.
sorry but someone being ill doesn't stop them from being a total cockend
not that I'm pleased he's ill or anything, it was just a general point.
..
.. fair point I guess. Though choosing a to express such an opinion in a thread talking about someone who just had to be taken to hospital does make you look like a bit of a cockend.
Ah well, I look like a twat on the internet
what's new?
yer such a fuck frank
I don't get the devotion
he wasn't even the best in the smiths.
Yeah.
Marr's gone on from strength to strength.
unthis
as amazing a job marr did, the smiths would be nothing without the lyrics
he's
also a massive racist.
Oh fuck off.
Show your working.
really?
your love is that blind?
Griffin with a quiff.
As I thought, you haven't got any evidence to support your slur.
Oh calm down
I can't be bothered to argue something that has been recognised by many commentators over the last twenty years. If you are such a fanboy that you can't even acknowledge the existence of the allegations, let alone the possibility it may be true, then leave it. G'night.
You're as vague as mist, you acne arsed bleeding heart.
It has been alleged many times that the moon landings were faked
....therefore we swhould just take it as given that they were and that's the end of the matter, right?
I am aware of the allegations and they are just that, allegations. No amount of wild conjecture is going to make something true in the total absence of any factual evidence.
So then, those allegations in full:
Morrissey wrapped himself in the union flag at Madstock. There were some skinheads in the audience who were there to see Madness. RACIST? No.
Morrissey has a song called National Front Disco, as anyone who has ever heard it will tell you it is not a pro-NF song. RACIST? No.
Morrissey has a song called Bengali in Platforms in which he sings about a young second generation boy caught between cultures. Racist? No.
Morrissey made a number of statements in the NME including the assertion that the UK has changed and that certain aspects of British culture were being discarded for change's sake. Racist? No.
You're a lightweight.
Morrissey dressed as a Zulu and charged through Convent Garden shouting ''I'm Lenny Henry! Hear me roar!''. Racist? Well...
You are very aggressive
All I know is that I grew up in a town with a large Indian and Bangladeshi population; I was actually seeing a Bangladeshi girl - a big Smiths fan - when Viva Hate was released. She was gutted; literally devastated by the content of the song you dismiss as "not racist" above. I think you need to take off the tinted glasses.
You're lying.
You're the fat Irish troll. We all know, always have done.
Well, you've convinced me for sure.
I'll burn all of my Morrissey records at first light.
If we accept this to be true...
And, you must admit, it does smack of internet credibility grabbing, should we all throw our hands up in outrage because one person misinterprets a song? Some people thought The Smiths were paedos because of Reel Around the Fountain, they thought they were into child murders beause of Suffer Little Children. They were wrong, your fictional Bangladeshi girl was wrong. The song is about someone's misguided attempts to assimilate into a culture Morrissey sees as deeply flawed. Move on.
ergh...you read the NME
Quiffin
WELL I HOPE HE DIES THEN
fuck
I'm meant to go see him next month in Dublin...
He might be alright by then.........
the chances of him appearing in Bournemouth in less than 48 hours however seem slim to none.
:(
:.(
Ah no! This is no good! Very best wishes to him.
He's not a well man, and touring isn't doing him any favours.
Maybe he'd be better off sticking to big venues in major cities instead of playing (and this is no offence to Swindon or Bournemouth) the provinces.
He probably wouldn't have collapsed if he ate meat.
At least
he'd already forgiven Jesus.
He has cancelled 4 times when I've been due to see him including festivals. I wouldn't book to see him in his own right any more.
ee-yeah, he forgave Jesus
Geez, I hope he's OK, sounds like a heart attack to me. It must have been a sight, I feel bad for him and the people in the audience who were shaken by it. I don't even have words to describe how I feel about the people who booed after the show was cancelled.
Or the people up here ^ on this thread, kicking a good man when he's down- fuck, no class, just low rent asshole-ishness. Very disappointed.
At the end of the day, girls just want to have fun.

this is brilliant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeE4mjS1BKM
that guy is a pro at being a boss
it's really good though
it starts off pretty shaky but ultimately, the editing is good, the little info bubbles effect are cool and cllever, the way it's shot not showing any faces and the COOL GUITARS- I could watch it all day.
Pro Tools gets a real bad rap. It's an "instrument" like any other.
that guy (whoever he is) really is a wizard- he could be in my band any day of the week.
Anyone who gives Pro Tools a bad rap...
has no idea what it actually does.
Mad jealous of the guitar.
Rics are so fuckin' beautiful sound and looking, but so damn expensive!!!
: )
cool video too huh?
Rics are expensive
but once you have one you will never need another guitar, I'm 330'd for life!
I saw Jeff Buckley twice and he did Smiths' songs at both shows.
Just little snippets between his own songs, but he did it.
He so obviously loved The Smiths and Morrissey:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vXIep8g08k
a spokeswoman for Great Western Ambulance Service just said:
"Morrissey's condition is NOT life threatening"
Anyone who asks Maya Angelou to perform,
when they curate MEDLTDOWN and plays her poetry before he takes to the stage on every gig on a 1999 uk tour, then signs to 'Attack' reggae label, counts Young, Gifted and Black as one of his favourite songs as a teenager and is a huge fan of Trojan records doesn't strike me as a particularly racist person.
..and you don't get tender lyrics about the cruelty and violence dealt out to Asian boys by white boys ( http://www.metrolyrics.com/asian-rut-lyrics-morrissey.html ) from many singers that i can think of.
Dont get drawn on it. He isn't racist.
I was at the show last night. Was weird. In all honesty didn't see him collapse, but had been sounding pretty fine and looking okay for the song, but I guess I was a bit excited and not really offering a critical ear.
Luckily this guy has it covered.

What. A. Dick.
Moz aint racist
but I wouldn't blame him if he was after subjecting him to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eGvmB8Phk8&feature=rec-fav-watch-cur_emp-real_rn
http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/morrissey-collapses-onstage_1120086
Please, please, please...
...He better be okay. I'm off to Berlin for a weekend in a few weeks. We had originally booked tickets to see Monsters of Folk, they subsequently cancelled.
We decided to book extra flights and tickets for Moz. Absolutely gutted if he cancels.
:/

First Michael and now Stephen
Very sad :(
The show in Birmingham
was immense, just a classic performer, with a real awareness of how important he is/was. Great tunes, very Smiths lite though.
To be fair, if you were on stage in Swindon, faced with a few days
in Bournemouth to follow, then you would do a drogba would you not ?
: )
explain "drogba" (for my Lexiconn of Loosened Limey Phrasology)
Didier Drogba is a footballer
Famous for diving. Doing a Drogba is do fake injury, or fall over acting hurt.
awesome
I pray Morrissey's done drogba but I know better. He really hasn't looked good these last few years- I fear he's got something bad going on.
thanks bro
Not nice for him sure
but he is a bit irrelevant nowadays and would probably be best for his legacy to pop his clogs sooner rather than later (a sentiment I'm sure he would have agreed with 20 years ago).
Seeing as Morrissey is an icon
Doesn't he sidestep the notion of relevancy? After that, the only thing that matters is the quality of his work, which give or take a couple of blips since leaving the Smiths, is 25 years of quality.
FAKE
Morrisey faked his collapse at Swindon, there was a rumour I heard in the queue that he would do it,.... then at the Royal Albert Hall he pretended to faint and then retorts, "Thanks Swindon", effectively he snubbed the whole town. The guy is a total snob and egotistical maniac, he gives nothing back to his audience with this kind of pathetic stunt........ there were people at the swindon gig from allover the south of england. U R WASTING YOUR MONEY by supporting this self-centered freak who is a con-artist - not a talented artist
chill your boots
Yeah, course you did.
I expect something like that might work its way from him, through his trusted staff, to mere mortals and then onto quiffed geeks stood queuing in the pissing rain.
Thanks for signing up just to let us know you're not a fan, though. Much appreciated. Your last four words there are especially entertaining, you liked an artist enough to pay to see them live, then because they snubbed Swindon they have no talent. Makes sense.
I've been to Swindon, it's fucking shit.
who said I paid money to see him??? I work at the venue -- i'm just staying if you are thick enough to support this one-man ego bandwagon then I pity you...... hahaha! You've been to Swindon and its shit? SO what ??? EVERY Town in this country is shit, the whole system is rotten, as is proven by this joke of a live-performer. I went to a Morrisey gig five years ago and it actually rocked the house down - i happen to think the music he and his band produced was once great -- but frankly he is still masturbating onstage over his one-time success with the Smiths, from which this entire following was born. I just find it sad that his ego has inflated so large he can no longer respect his fans, and they don't even have the self-respect to realise they are being taken for a ride -- so go ahead, keep justifying it to yourself,,,,, its your cash you're spending, not mine
Swindon
if you've been to Swindon you would have found far better musicians than MOrrisey performing -- typical, narrow-minded responses coming out of this page.
Thanks, Dr roncoobie, for your considered & informed medical opinion
Berk
Hilarious stuff
You were probably just stood near me at some point in the last four months as I have ben saying that this and the Bmth show would get cancelled for sure. In fact I even say it on my Facebook a week before. Even when he came on I turned to my friend and said "it's never to late to cancel" and oh how we laughed at the hilarious coincidence! Then we didn't when he dropped. Initially I thought it might be fake but then it was pretty obvious it wasn't. And to top it off, why would he fake it then spend the night in a Swindon hospital? I can't think of anyone who like to do that less than El Moz. So in short, shut up.
funny how the brainwashed always try to find answers in the murkly gloom of nothingness to avoid accepting the truth,,,,, morrisey is a performer - no reason he shouldn't spend a night in swindon hospital just to seal the impression in those weak minds who actually think he took a fall on stage... so why was there a multitude of bouncers on stage at the precise moment he started teetering about ? Ive seen the video,,, he's a fake. Get over it,,, get some taste.
NO problem
nice of you to share your sum intelligence with us all -- FYI, My considered and informed opinion comes from backstage workers who knew the set-up was going on as it was leaked by his security staff - did you know he had a complete press/photo ban on the concert which is a first for the venue, threatening to sue anyone who took any official pictures. Just love the way that you have no idea of what was going on and yet you defend this twat to the death. Hopefully that won't be too long now.... What was it he said at Royal Albert Hall >>>?<<< FUCK YOU SWINDON(?) and u r all still so blind ? like i said - waste yr cash if u got nothing better to do with it,,, me I prefer to see artists who perform.
This is excellent stuff
Who do you reckon was responsible for 9/11 and do you think the moon landings happened?
Thanks Chris, for sharing your entire vocabulary
What a load of arse. Morrissey blows out so many gigs
there is no reason for him to fake it. I personally think he overdoes it and shouldn't perform more than once a month so that he can stay fit and healthy.
