Morrissey has had to cancel a residency on US TV programme Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn because of ill health. Word is the singer is feeling drained after a hectic promotional schedule came so soon after a bout of meningitis.
A spokesman for label Sanctuary Records told reporters: "Morrissey has regretfully had to cancel his appearance on the Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn this week. He has been involved in an exhaustive global promotion campaign for You Are The Quarry the past several months. Unfortunately the strain of his schedule and a recent bout with meningitis resulted in his doctor insisting that he cancel all current appearances. He remains very appreciative of Craig's continued support as well as the support of his fans."
It remains to be seen if ill health affects Morrissey's LA gig, due to take place on 5 Jun.
