Surprise, surprise (or not), Morrissey's European tour has had a few shows rescheduled and dates cancelled. After a North American tour in support of World Peace is None of Your Business was scrapped due to illness, the former Smiths frontman has postponed a handful of overseas dates "until 2015."
Morrissey's planned concert in Lausanne, Switzerland, and two shows in the Netherlands have been pushed back, DIY Mag reports. The three concerts have been indefinitely postponed, with the ominous tag of "until 2015." Meanwhile, shows in Athens, Greece, and Istanbul, Turkey, have been rescheduled for later this month.
No reasons for the couple of Dutch shows nor the Lausanne cancellation have been offered. Morrissey was originally scheduled to perform on Dec. 13 at Lausanne's Les Docks, Dec. 15 at Gronigen's De Oosterpoort and Dec. 16 at Tilburg's 013.
The Lausanne tour stop had already been rescheduled earlier this fall, thanks to a flu outbreak amongst Morrissey's crew.
The concerts in Athens and Istanbul have been derailed due to logistical reasons. Though no specific reason was given beyond that for Istanbul, Morrissey apparently missed his flight from London to Greece. The Athens and Istanbul shows were set to take place on Dec. 5 and 7, respectively. The Athens show will now happen on Dec. 15 followed by Istanbul on Dec. 17.
Check out Morrissey's updated European schedule below:
12/10: Belgrade, Serbia @ Belexpocentar
12/12: Zagreb, Croatia @ The Zagreb Fair
12/15: Athens, Greece @ Tae Kwon Do Arena
12/17: Istanbul, Turkey @ Volkswagen Arena
The Dutch and Swiss cancellations as well as the rescheduled Greece and Turkey dates are just the latest thing to plague Morrissey's 2014 tour. Over the summer, he cancelled and postponed a slew of U.S. tour dates due to illness, bringing to the surface that Moz may be battling cancer.
