Morrissey is celebrating the 20th anniversary of You Are The Quarry in the most Morrissey way possible: by canceling a pair of upcoming concerts in which he was set to perform the album in full.
Moz had been scheduled to perform his 2004 solo album during concerts at the Honda Center in Anaheim and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles this weekend. However, on Thursday night he pulled the plug on both shows, citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
The news really shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as Morrissey has canceled well over 120 shows since 2012 (we stopped counting in 2017 when he famously pulled out of a show due to cold weather).
Perhaps The Smiths singer is still upset over unnamed media publications’ efforts to “delete” him from the band’s history. Meanwhile, his former bandmate, Johnny Marr, has sought to ensure Donald Trump doesn’t use The Smiths’ music at campaign rallies.
