In a move that is largely unsurprising Morrissey has scrapped another tour date. After the "Earth Is The Loneliest Planet" singer and his touring crew caught a nasty virus earlier this week, causing the fourth Morrissey show cancellation in Atlanta in just 18 months, Moz has postponed another show.
According to Morrissey's official Facebook page, the virus that caused the singer to straight up cancel his June 4 concert in Atlanta has continued to plague him and his crew, forcing them to reschedule the June 6 concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
"As Morrissey and the touring party recover from a virus, the engagement in Atlantic City at the Revel Ovation Hall has been postponed to Sunday, June 22. All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date," the statement reads.
But, fans of Moz in Boston need not worry (for now). The post declares: "The tour will resume as originally scheduled, without question, at the Boston Opera House on Saturday, June 7."
Though the tour will resume as scheduled on June 7, there will be one glaring difference: the loss of an opening act. After supporting Morrissey through North America, singer Kristeen Young has mysteriously left/been booted from the tour.
"We won't be continuing as opening band for the Morrissey tour. Thanks to all who showed up early and gave us such life-sustaining enthusiasm. Thanks to Morrissey for his years of support and generosity. There are lots of plans and lots of possibilities and we can't wait to tear into them," she said in a statement on Facebook (via Morrissey-Solo).
