Morrissey Beefs Up Rescheduled Tour, Actual Beef Content Still in Question

Morrissey Reschedules Cancelled Shows Staples Center

Since October, Morrissey has been on a show-canceling spree. First he nixed some dates to hang with his ailing mum. Then came the bleeding ulcer, and his wry death pronouncement about the entire thing (which had grown to include a condition known as Barrett’s esophagus). And while his forthcoming sold-out show at Los Angeles’ Staples Center arena is still on, the Moz and the venue have been in a serious standoff over the night’s purported meat content.

But at last, good touring news has arrived. After a freshly confirmed February 26 Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance — plus a previously announced San Diego date and the aforementioned L.A. flesh-as-food fest — the former Smiths singer will embark on a 25-date run that kicks off at a rather unorthodox venue: Hollywood High School. Presumably he’s already checked in with the cafeteria to make sure Sloppy Joe Day is not concurrently scheduled.
