Morrissey's vocal woes

Morrissey abandoned his Camden Roundhouse show after losing his voice three songs in, with a London date cancelled and the UK tour expected to resume in Doncaster.

Morrissey had to abandon his show at the Camden Roundhouse on Friday after he lost his voice three songs into the set. The fans were pretty cross, by the sound of things. According to one report, Russell Brand, David Walliams and Jonathon Ross went up on stage to try and cheer everyone up, but when the crowd learnt that the gig was off, some of them threw things at the trio of entertainers.

However, not all the fans present that night are angry with their idol, a number posting forgiving posts on Morrissey-solo.com. One wrote: "I felt sorry for him. He did struggle. I'd happily pay double the ticket price for a 4-song performance from Morrissey any day". Another added: "As a big admirer I am, I recognise that in this moment shouting and angry comments from fans is not helping. I am sure he feels unhappy as well with the situation. So, a big hug to him, and I hope he comes back to the Roundhouse so we can all go to see him again soon".

Following the aborted set, the singer was advised to rest for four days and was forced to cancel a further London gig. Both of those dates are to be rescheduled, and the singer's UK tour is expected to resume in Doncaster on Wednesday.
