Morrissey Cancels US 2014 Tour Dates & Speaks Out

Smiths singer, Morrissey, has officially cancelled the remainder of his US arena tour for lingering health reasons. 

Morrissey's camp updated his fans via Facebook writing:

"It is with great sadness that the remainder of the US Tour has been cancelled. The respiratory infection Morrissey contracted in Miami has worsened, and in the interest of making a full recovery, all further touring plans have been halted. Morrissey thanks his fans for their compassion, understanding, and well-wishes during this difficult period as he recuperates."

Then it got interesting as his people spoke True To You, to further explain the reasonings sharing:

"Difficulties had arisen on May 31st following Kristeen Young's opening set at the Miami Knight Concert Hall, after which Kristeen confessed to 'a horrendous cold,' the symptoms of which were passed on to Morrissey resulting in the cancellation of the next show in Atlanta. For the good of all, Kristeen was asked to step down from the immediate upcoming shows, but instead she decided to leave the tour entirely. Morrissey and the band wish her well and hope she is now in good health."

Tour support act Kristeen Young was clearly offended by them blaming the tour cancelation on her and responded on Facebook saying, ""I am very sorry that Morrissey is not feeling well. But I will not tolerate these lies....particularly about my health. This is really too much and bizarre."

Morrissey and Young have a relationship and have toured together in the past. We will see if more inside information will come out from either of them on this hot issue between the two musicians.

Morrissey is set to release his highly anticipated new album World Peace Is None of Your Business this summer (July 2014) and now he has unveiled the tracklisting for the upcoming album. This will be Morrissey's tenth studio album and worked with producer Joe Chiccarelli in France on the new project. World Peace Is None of Your Business will be released from Harvest Records through Capitol. This is Morrissey's first album since the release of 2009's Years of Refusal.
