Sounds like some of the shows are being rescheduled (I have not received any official word yet). Marc sends the link to Ticketmaster which currently lists the Santa Fe, NM show on Aug. 31 (moved from Aug. 4). On the discussion board Suzanne notes that Nobody In Particular Presents shows the Colorodo Springs, CO date as Aug. 29 (moved from Aug. 3).

The tour was supposed to start on July 31 in Salt Lake City. The cities affected are: Salt Lake City UT (2 shows), Colorado Springs CO, Santa Fe NM, El Paso TX and Tucson AZ.

I sent an email to the events coordinator at The Egan Center in Anchorage Alaska inquiring about the upcoming Morrissey concert. I received a reply within an hour stating:

"We just got word today that the concert has been cancelled."

I would suggest looking into it for yourself if you were planning on attending that show, Id rather not have anyone take my word for it.

Angela at MorrisseyTour.com has confirmed with Tickets.com that the concert has been cancelled.

Sorry to report I just received phone message from Tickets West that Spokane show 8/31 has been cancelled. Hope this isn't beginning of a trend.

During the Guildford Festival Pretenders set last night, Chrissie Hynde announced that Morrissey is "this country's greatest songwriter". They then sang 'Everyday is Like Sunday', much to the crowd's delight, and the sun came out and everyone was happy. The End.

I don't think I've seen such a likeness in a drawing before...it's quite stunnning.
