In what should not come as a huge shock, Morrissey has canceled the first four dates of his U.S. tour due to "illness" -- or perhaps, it was just too sunny in Florida.
The former Smiths frontman is scheduled to play here March 17 at Carnegie Music Hall, but he's canceled here the past two times, both on the day of the show - when he was already in town.
The canceled dates this week are:
Feb. 28 Boca Raton, FL - Mizner Park
March 1 Orlando, FL - Hard Rock Live
March 3 Jacksonville, FL - Florida Theatre
March 4 St. Petersburg, FL - Jannus Landing Courtyard
So, he has about 20 days to recover from whatever it is that caused him to cancel. But you have to figure that the odds of him actually taking the stage here on March 17 have just dropped dramatically.
On "Something is Squeezing My Head," the first song on the new album, he rattles off a list of anti-depressants and hollers "Don't gimmie anymore!"
Maybe he needs some more.
