MORRISSEY - MORRISSEY SCRAPS LONDON DATES

LATEST: MORRISSEY has disappointed hundreds of fans after declaring he will not be rescheduling a series of London gigs which were postponed due to illness last month (Jan08). The former Smiths frontman was forced to scrap planned concerts at The Roundhouse in Camden, north London, on 25, 26 and 27 January (08) after losing his voice. His vocal problems began on the opening night, when he had to cut short his set after just three songs. But organisers have failed to get the shows rescheduled and are now offering ticketholders full refunds. In a statement, the promoters say: "We would like to extend our apologies to all of Morrissey's loyal fans over this unavoidable situation." After a week's rest, Morrissey returned to the stage on Thursday (31Jan08) night in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, to continue with the remainder of his U.K. tour.
