Being a Morrissey fan is certainly not an easy job. At the beginning of the week, the Swedish fans of the English singer saw the last minute Stockholm concert canceled.
In fact, Morrissey suddenly erased the only date in Sweden and in Northern Europe thus motivating the choice: «In the last seven days we have traveled in six countries and we are incredibly tired. We can barely see. “
With a press release that appeared on its website Morrissey continues: «The pain of not being able to reach Stockholm this week is terrible for the band and the staff. I know it is impossible to understand for those who are not inside, but we dream of Stockholm, Reykjavik, Trondheim, Helsinki, Aarhus … but there is no financial support from imaginary record labels that allows us to get to these places “.
The rant Of the former Smiths leader he then expanded on what the singer sees just as a boycott towards his music by the musical industry: “We pray that someone, somewhere, can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark … where we have thousands and thousands of friends, but absolutely no support from the musical industry. No record label will publish our music, no radio will transmit it … yet the sales of our tickets are sensational. What does this tell us about the state of the art in 2025? ».
And the Italian dates? For now there is no need to worry, just as Morrissey writes, the tour will leave regularly on Friday in Berlin.
Morrissey will be in Italy for five dates, on 23 July at the Vittoriale theater in Gardone Riviera, on the 26th at the Lucca Summer Festival, on 28 at the Cavea Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone, on 31 at Villa Bellini in Catania and on August 3 at the Locus Festival in Ostuni.
