• NME: Morrissey “receiving medical supervision for physical exhaustion” - January 26, 2024

 

[Anonymous]

The entire band must be quitting after this I would assume, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. This feels like the end, I predict a retirement statement on Central soon..

What do you predict the heading will say?

 

[Was I ever any good]

Morrissey retires aged 64.

 

[Les Tameside]

Morrissey retires aged 64.

 

[BrokenFrame]

Music is his life, surely he will find some way to keep going

 

[Phranc & Open]

In a music world, where Keef is on stage @ 80, retirement with 64 is not a realistic option. He will always be tempted to do special one-off shows or residencies in Vegas.

 

[gashonthenail]

Oh well. At least Morrissey will never be accused of being ordinary.

and Bob Dylan is 82....still touring.

 

[Vic B]

Get the rest you need Mozzer. We miss you and love you.

 

[BrokenFrame]

and for the sad day he eventually dies.....

 

[Rob77]

Morrissey retires aged 64.

And then cancels

 

[Chicago1]

That's not true. Or at least, it was hardly the end of the Beatles when they stopped touring. XTC stopped touring and made more records after than before. Syd Barrett went off the deep end and still managed to leave two great solo albums.

Whether an artist can't (or won't) sell tickets, they can still make music.

This was when people still bought records.

 

[A Man Escaped]

Music is his life, surely he will find some way to keep going

There is a very clear way; he returns the advance money to Capitol; he gets back the Bonfire recordings and assuming all the major label doors are closed to him, winds his neck in and approaches an independent label willing to give him a two album deal.

He clearly doesn't have the energy to self release.

 

[Anoneymous]

Didn't realize playing the victim took that much energy.

 

[Redacted]

This is absolutely nonsense.
“A lot of people kind of hate the new band”

Should read “a few dozen people with mental health problems and access to the internet hate the new band”

90% of the people at Morrissey gigs have little clue of care about who is in the band.

Have a good day

I think Camila dropped by
Also, it's a bit f***ing stupid to say people don't care who is in the band

 

[Redacted]

It was fairly obvious we were just kidding about the trousers. They are amusing but it's not like we are blaming them for these situations. I would've thought that would be plain to see.

Thank you very much, some people are far too touchy and defensive

 

[Anonymous]

and for the sad day he eventually dies.....

No need to wait -get the hologram touring now, whilst Moz is still with us. At least it will turn up.

 

[Vicks Vapour Rub]

It most certainly is. I don't know why people thought that it works by sucking on it. Some people just have an aversion to the truth. They'll avoid it any way they can even if it makes them look like imbeciles, lol.

He wasn’t “sucking on it”, he was simply pretending it was a cigarette, in that charming child-like way he has. Just accept it, he has a Vicks inhaler in his pocket onstage sometimes if he’s suffering with nasal congestion, I’ve seen him use it several times during those moments when he’s turned his back on the audience at the end of songs.

 

[Lucifer Sam]

This was when people still bought records.

I didn’t say it would be a profitable career. Syd Barrett didn’t make much money from his solo album sales. He was living in a London hotel and had to walk to his mother’s house in Cambridge because he defaulted on the bill. It wasn’t until Pink Floyd became mega-successful without him that people started buying the back catalogue and the royalties began rolling in. But Morrissey already gets royalties, and he presumably self-finances these albums he’s recording. It’s still a career as a singer, even if it goes quiet and reclusive and the material only comes out posthumously. He’d probably collect a modest profit from a self-released album though.

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

And then cancels

"This is the last song I will ever sing
No I've changed my mind again
GOODNIGHT
AND THANK YOU"

 

[Ryan]

Donnie's evil plan has finally come to fruition. Morrissey is locked away in a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, as a hostage, never to be heard from again while Donnie posts to Central as Morrissey in the third person and schedules shows Morrissey never shows up to.

And gets a few extra neck tattoos.
