Även de mest lojala överger Morrissey - Aftonbladet
Ikväll skulle han spelat i Sverige

Google Translate to English:

Even the most loyal abandon Morrissey
Tonight he would have played in Sweden

Tonight Morrissey would have been on stage at Dalhalla . Now it was not. The whole European Tour was canceled and the question is inevitable:

Is this the end for Morrissey?

In recent years , Morrissey's star has been in free fall. Not because of bad discs or tired concerts. These were the interviews that eventually broke us.

We sighed desperately when he spoke insensibly about the bombing in Manchester. We were ashamed when in Der Spiegel called Berlin for "the capital of the rapists" (because of immigration, what else?). We did not believe our ears when he expressed sympathy for the former English Defense Leagu leader and also the Muslim hater Tommy Robinson . And we lost the air when he, at best Breitbart manners, began to shout about "the loony left", mainstreammedia's oppression and Hitler my left.

When the singer this spring urged his listeners to vote for the High Extreme, Islamist Ukip Breakers in Britain, the bottom was reached. In the end, even his most loyal defender did not even hurt him anymore. That is the reason why Moz does not appear in a lime off-road outside Rättvik this evening.

The official explanation for the slipped tour is of course a completely different one. "Logistical circumstances", it is called. Instead, it was about sluggish ticket sales. The places Morrissey previously sold out in the past, still had unsold plates left. An insider revealed that until the Edinburgh concert, 400 of the 2 500 (scary) tickets had been spent just weeks left for showtime. In Sweden, it looked the same. My Swedish industry source confirmed that the concert at Dalhalla was "really far from sold out".

Of course, pop stars also have the right to say almost anything. But the recipient is also entitled to respond and act. In the United States, much is said to "vote with your dollar". That's exactly what Morrissey's audience did. Thousands of disappointed ex-fans have chosen not to fund Mozzers fall.

I'm one of them. For too long, I defended. Seemed idiotic statements in context. Tried to understand. Excused. Would you like the man behind the songs that saved my life would not have been transformed into their own antites.

I was wrong.

Moz, once all the outside world's own patron saint, stands alone.

To trot his own song Boxers:

"Your weary fans are walking away".
 
I don't know for Sweden but in Germany, he would have never filled the 17,000 seat capacity of the Berlin Venue, that's for sure. He would have played in front of 3,000 German fans.
 
I'll never abandon you Mozzer. Have all your albums on display.

That's exactly what I think and feel.
And I think i'm not alone about this.

Too bad for Moz.... Good choice for me...
 
I like it how these unemployed blog dorks have inside info on all type of inside news, tickets sold, record contracts, all the while having no jobs.
Its uncanny the ability they have.:crazy:
(they make it all up since they can be sued due to being jobless and moneyless):lbf:
 
What a pitiful piece of writing. And it's a load of CRAP.

Morrissey has an entire legion of fans across the globe who love him and his work. Even those who think his opinions on politics are negative aren't so STUPID that they need to stop enjoying his work.

These articles need to stop now. It's one after the other after the other, nothing original to say...just another band-wagon jumper on the "Let's -hate-Morrissey " express.

It's lazy writing. Loads of people love Mozza and defend him.

He's done loads of dates that sold well recently, the Castlefield dates only sold badly because they were being played weeks off the back of the UK arena dates.

Morrissey is one of the music world's biggest legends and will always remain so.
 
I reckon there is no way I am wasting 10 seconds of my life and reading what a Nazi wrote about Uncle Steve while pissed off because he just had to wait 4 hours in line for his McRib at McDonalds at the "food square". You foreigners need to stop whining and move on. Steve hates all of you and now his true colors are showing. In Moz Angeles and most of the USA his popularity has stayed the same since 1991. No one talks shit about Steve. I reckon the photo shows a Sex Pistols and Uncle Steve CD and John Lydon and Steve live so far away from you people in Malibu. Get the hint?
 
Well, good to know you have some taste left then :)

Yes, they're one of my favourite bands, saw them in May at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, Mike Joyce was there as well, was nice to have a pint and a chat with him.

The bad discs aren't helping though, are they?
 
400 left unsold sounds more likely.

Hi are you an expert on sales?
You seem to be very confident in what you’re saying?

I hope you are an expert? And not just in some kind of fantasy world where you can just make stuff up and say it on the internet?

He sold 400.. that’s why it’s cancelled
If he only had 400 to sell, with over a week to go before the show, he would have been on course for selling out.

No one wants to be associated with him or the people he’s aligned himself with

Morrissey hasn't released a bad album since Malajusted, and even that has at least two classics.
 
I don't know for Sweden but in Germany, he would have never filled the 17,000 seat capacity of the Berlin Venue, that's for sure. He would have played in front of 3,000 German fans.

'would have' is hypothetical
Martin sodastream can speak for himself.

We re not all that easily brainwashed by the repetitious media or the browbeaters on this site.
Really bored with the orchestrated outrage.
Next time morrissey is in Ireland I'll be there
