Morrissey Abruptly Ends Concert . . .

Morrissey is having a devil of a time on tour this month. As you may recall, Moz had to end his concert performance in Swindon, UK last month after he collapsed on stage just two songs into his set. After a brief hospital stay, the Mozzer was back on stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall just a few days later. Last night, Moz ended early his performance in Liverpool after an idiot in the crowd threw a drink at his head! Second song into his set, Morrissey gets hit in the head, he says “Good bye” and the show was over:

A shocked Morrissey brought the UK leg of his current tour to an abrupt halt in Liverpool tonight (November 7) when he walked offstage after a fan threw a drink at his head. The star said simply “good bye” at the Liverpool Echo Arena following the incident, exiting in the middle of his second song. He had started with The Smiths standard ‘This Charming Man’ and was in the middle of ‘Black Cloud’ when the incident happened. There are conflicting eye witness reports over whether it was a plastic cup or a bottle that struck. The show was stopped for around 15 minutes as the crowd chanted his name. A little time later a member of the crew announced that the singer had been hit on the head by a bottle and the concert would not continue. Fans jeered and booed at the news. The audience were told they would receive a full refund. The Manc legend is due to travel to Holland to continue European dates on Monday (November 9) in Nijmegen. There is no indication that the Dutch show will be effected by the Liverpool incident.

Insane! I can’t say that I blame Morrissey at all for walking off the stage. He is used to having flowers thrown at him … hell, on occasion he is used to having fans throw themselves at him … but for some asshole to hurtle an object at his face, that is just unreal to me. After the jump, watch video of this incident to see how it all went down …

Morrissey was a real gentleman to refund the money for last night’s show. It really sucks that it takes one idiot to ruin the fun for everyone … I understand that the folks in the audience were pissed that the show was canceled … I hope they focused that disappointment on the moron who threw the drink, where their anger rightfully belongs. I’m sure Moz will brush off this incident and carry on with the tour. I am anxiously awaiting his return to the US … I’ll be at his SoCal performance on December 7th. I can’t wait!
