An indie rock sensation in the '80s, the Smiths were headed up by the British singer-songwriter, whose real name is Steven Patrick Morrissey. But in a cryptic post on his website, Morrissey Central, the singer announced the cancellation of a show in Stockholm and claimed his music had been largely forgotten by an industry that once hung on his every move.
"The pain at not reaching Stockholm this week is horrific for the band and crew," he wrote. "I know it's impossible for people to understand, but we dream of Stockholm, Reykjavik, Trondheim, Helsinki, Aarhus … but there is no financial support from imaginary record labels to get us to such places."
"In the last seven days we have traveled into six countries, and we are travel-weary beyond belief. We can barely see," he continued. "We pray to God that someone, somewhere can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark … where we have thousands upon thousands of friends, yet absolutely zero music industry support."
Morrissey claimed "no label will release our music, no radio will play our music … and yet our ticket sales are sensational. What does this tell us about the state of Art in 2025?"
The singer, 66, went on to tell fans that a planned concert in Berlin on June 27 would continue "with the grace of God."
"I love all of you with whatever is left of my doomed heart," he finished.
Morrissey is in the midst of an extensive tour of Europe and North America. With a collection of shows from Germany and Turkey to Greece stretching throughout the summer, some fans have begun to worry he and his crew will struggle to make it.
In the comment section of an Instagram post, in which he shared the same statement, some fans expressed disappointment and confusion, saying the reasoning "made absolutely zero sense" and asking "why schedule so many dates without proper funding?"

>relying on the machine
>while having attempted to throw a spanner to it
lol, lmao even

lmao whinging little fucker
why should anyone else fund his personal business venture? he cant be skint, why doesnt he fund it himself if he's so confident of success? or walk into any bank and say lend us a few quid we're about to make a fortune.

>Can't self release
Jesus, he deserves it at this point.

>>126830358
He has an album coming out later this year

>>126830358
innit tho
like 30 years ago maybe he'd have a point but fuxake
kids with laptops can get their music out there and this decades-long veteran is clueless? its pathetic

>>126829987 (OP)
if he can't make a gig in stockholm be profitable then that is his fault, or really his managers fault.

Why has Johnny Marr's solo career and post-Smiths career in general been so irrelevant compared to Morrissey's if Marr was the talent in Smiths like Redditors say?

>>126830380
He needs to get a band camp or have an official website. He's can do it and people will flock to it because he's well known and revered in the music scene. He act as if he will be operating at a loss if he self-released music.

>>126830438
but he wouldn't be able to whine about being "cancelled" or smth, also he's probably aware no one cares about a new solo album (or the old ones for that matter)

>>126829987 (OP)
loser queer lmao

Seeing him tomorrow hopefully

>>126829987 (OP)
How is it possible that he and his band have the same dreams?

>>126830289
A jew worshipping fag doesn't get to play? Win for humanity, moz lost

Wonder if you're a fag in love with Moz and that's why you spemd all day defending his honor from light mockery online. He'll never be your boyfriend, fudgepacker

>>126830438
I think it's just the Iron grip of Ticketmaster and Livenation, C3, etc... All the same fucking company.
They're using ticket scalping and taking a cut of merch sales to buy up every venue and then leverage their monopoly to make it hard for even big acts to pay crew enough to tour.

What's the deal with aging homosexuals and christianity?

I still remember when he walked off stage at an L.A show because it was too cold. What a tard.

>>126831900
isn't it aging people in general?

i really doubt God likes Morrisey's daily butt adventures with jailbait male prostitutes

>>126829987 (OP)
I love this guy so fucking much and he's literally all of us

>daily butt adventures with jailbait male prostitutes
When did we start talking about you?

I was supposed to see him in May but he cancled the day of the show. I don't even like his music or the smiths but some friends and I were going to go just to be in the same room with him. I feel really bad for his "fans" who travel long distances to see and then get canceled by his old ass.

>>126829987 (OP)
I HATE morrissey

Reminder that Pakistanis run London now.

how about havin 3 great albums and not touring. why is everything he does a problem for me? dont tour who cares

its always americans. the beatles, rolling stones, led zeppilin, the kinks all made money in one place, the usa. the uk wouldnt make them stars so they left. and now they want them back

fuck off and good luick.

>>126830221
Moz would be forgotten if not for fat Mexicans being 90% of his fanbase from 1990-2010

>>126833036

>>126833036
Mexican here. He's my fav artist.

>>126829987 (OP)
Or he could stop being a whiny bitch for decades & get the smiths back together.

>oh dear, my heart simply can't take it

Shut it, faggot. You wanna make some money & have people care or not?? If the Gallaghers can patch it up so can you.

>>126832855
I HATE you
>>126833036
Those aren't the desert retards I'm talking about, retard

>>126833422
Nah. Johnny can rot in hell. Andy's gone and a reunion died with him. Moz can play them alone with his band and it'll be more than fine. Oasis sucks, btw.

It says he's been having a long tour of Europe and North America so it seems to be just an issue with Scandinavian booking? I wonder what makes Scandinavia different to the rest of Europe. He even said the ticket sales weren't the reason to cancel.

>>126829987 (OP)
He's gonna be so embarrassed when he finds out god's not real

>>126830044
>why should anyone else fund concert tours?
that's how it works

Being 100% honest, I've never liked any of Morrissey's work. Unironically a hack.

>>126835392
But enough about you

>>126835392
listen to his album you are the quarry from 2004. good rock album.

>>126835392
Try giving this a listen when you aren't too busy. I sincerely doubt a hack could write something on the level of "Alsatian Cousin".

No thanks.

>>126835501
You hurt me with that remark. Did I mention that I cried? Is it wrong to not always be glad?

>>126835501
Have fun with your shit taste then

>>126835554
I promise you, anyone who appreciates Morrissey or The Smiths are not an authority on "taste."

>>126835566
Yes we are, and you are transgender

>>126835566
I think we all know who is also behind this terrible post

>>126835573
Look, an underaged poster.

>>126835580
Who?

>>126835586
Someone who gets very good wifi in a cave

>>126835665
I don't get it.

Sex. We know.

There are scores of bands touring regularly with a fraction of this cunts resources, what a whingeing little bitch
