Dear Morrissey . . .

oh right but he's had solo hits (in the uk at least) well into the 00s.

in at #17, dropping to #43 week 2 and disappearing after that isn't a "hit" tho

QUEEN

(NOT A COMPLIMENT IN MY BOOK)

anyway he was only offstage for like two minutes

During Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others? So the ending when the band just play and there's no singing? I doubt I would have even noticed.

This might also explain why some reviews haven't even mentioned it.

Morrissey has collapsed on stage during a performance in Swindon.

The 50-year-old former Smith's singer was taken to hospital after suffering breathing difficulties while performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre.

A spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service said: "Just after 9pm we got a call to a 50-year-old who was reported to be... unconscious."

A spokesman for Swindon's Great Western Hospital said: "Morrissey was brought in to the Accident and Emergency department this evening.

"He has been seen by the medical team.

"At this stage his condition is stable."

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the singer fall to the floor during a performance of his song This Charming Man.

Two band members rushed to his side and dragged him off stage.

Chronic ennui... lets try and find a cure!

This is why no-one should ever EVER go to Swindon.

Dear Morrissey,

I hope you don't die but if you do I'm glad we've shared the moments that we have.

Yours,

Erica

I concur with this but am somewhat conflicted due to the emotions evoked by the effect that the clocks going back has on the ilx timestamp.

Dear Morrissey,

I am too angry with you for playing in the crap town I used to live in *after I left it* to feel any sympathy.

Yours cordially

i hope he is OK.

He's been discharged - "feeling much better".

RIP Morrissey! :(

From the album cover I think it must have been constipation.

I love the long pause in there...

Am wondering whether Anne Gina will do the cover art for the next LP.

Is that seriously the new Morrisey album cover? Looks like it was done with Photoshop in 15 minutes.

Just about every album cover these days does.

Looks like he has one of the swords stuck up his bum.

"He has been seen by the medical team.

Why do I keep picturing all the people coming to gawk at him and then cackle 'n' point?

You know that thread where people pick a photo off flickr, a random page title off Wiki, etc?

Those.

That was an xpost.

He has been seen by the medical team

.. is a third line from a missing verse of....

Yeah, but it looks like just some random, badly framed snapshot of the guy with simple text on it. IIRC the previous albums at least put some effort to the set-up of the photo and the typography.

You know that thread where people pick a photo off flickr, a random page title off Wiki, etc?

haha Like that Facebook game? Yeah. Reminded me of that game as well. Still, I do like the style. Just not the facial expression.

(xx-post)

Yeah, didn't we have some thread where we took random photos and random wiki quotes and made them into album covers? That cover looks like it came from that thread.

It's only some b-sides compilation. Not reknowned for their huge budgets, those.

What the hell is wrong with people?

November pwned a Mozzer

Seems like it was a plastic cup, not a bottle -- otherwise he wouldn't have kept singing for a moment after it hit him. But can you blame him for realizing what just happened and walking right the fuck off stage? I'd have done the same thing.

IT'S NOT SLIPKNOT Y'KNOW!!!

But surely he should have returned and played on after whoever threw the item was chucked out.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Evidence suggests that most people are dicks. And given that most of Moz's fans are middle aged yeeeeesh I despair...

xpost maybe some people went "yeahhhhhh" as they do sometimes...

I've seen him throw a shit fit and storm off stage for something way less then getting hit with a bottle so it's not really surprising.

He is v. capricious. He's never walked off stage any of the times I have went to see him, but I have heard about him doing this enough times that it doesn't surprise me at all.

I did gone to see him...

Evidence suggests that most people are dicks

Actually the evidence here suggests the opposite. One person was a dick. Two if you count the bloke you chucked the bottle.

Joek!

Who would wear something like that? Behoodied kids are hardly going to advertise Morrissey, are they?

That hoodie is vile wtf

Should make a "Meat is murder" one so you can walk around and get beaten up by behoodied butchers.

Morrissey to appear on Desert Island Discs

Ten will get you one he picks Culture and "Two Sevens Clash" for the heckovit.
