Morrissey cancels 2 of 10 LA shows

Morrissey @ the Palladium, LA - Oct 1, 2007 (CRED)

Morrissey can't catch a break...

Morrissey's 10-day stint at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles has been hit after a ruptured water main forced the cancellation of two shows.
The 48-year-old star opened his residency on Monday night, singing songs from throughout his career.

But promoter Live Nation said the problem at the venue led to Tuesday and Thursday nights' gigs being scrapped.

Tickets for the cancelled shows can be used at either the 8 or 9 October performances, or returned for a refund. [BBC]

Morrissey's NYC shows begin on October 22nd (hopefully).

Poor ticket sales again, I gather.
At least the excuses have become more imaginative than a "sore throat".
Did Moz pull some Producers-like sabotage here?

Morrissey would never resort to grand scale vandalism of municipal property to save face. I'm sure ticket sales were decent. We're talking about Moz Angeles, here...

I agree with the previous post. Los Angeles has always welcomed Morrissey with open arms, as opposed to the sometimes cold reaction in NYC.
Let's just hope the tour continues as planned here, I am quite excited to see him again after a couple of years.

actually, this is Live Nation's fault according to the press release: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/buzzbands/2007/10/morrissey-shows.html

that's what they get for holding it at a shitty venue.

its poor ticket sales--tickets were still available for sale and were offered at half price a few days ago. morrissey cancellations are just as dependable as his bland output.

Does anyone know the promotional code for the NYC tix?
And I dont think it was cancelled for poor ticket sales but I am sure they were slow. You can use those tickets for other shows so obviously it wasnt sold out and the other show isnt exactly close to selling out either.

noone on any of his messageboards seems to know the promotion code for NYC..Wonder if it is tied into AMEX??

You wish you'll look that good when you're 48.

If that's looking good... then i'll stick to looking bad.

if it tickets sales were so good, why didnt they reschedule the shows and not have people just use them for october 8th or 9th? why didnt live nation just offer him $75 million to reschedule it? check his plumbing yo, i think he destroyed the shitter.

IT IS POOR TICKET SALES, HABITUAL MORRISSEY BEHAVIOR. IT IS NOT 1992, YOU'VE KIND OF SUCKED FOR QUITE A WHILE.

That is a very unflattering picture of Moz.

lol, he books msg, cancels that and then pathetically discounts his tickets to $20 in a desperate attempt to get a crowd at hammerstein.

he's just another has been who will be trying to fill b.b.kings in a year or two.

I swear to god if you guys don't lay off how Morrissey looks or that his shows aren't selling out I'm going to make a video where I'm crying and hysterically demanding that everyone "LEAVE MORRISSEY ALONE!! HE'S SICK, HE'S GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE AND HIS KIDS GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM AND NOW YOU PEOPLE ARE BEING MEAN!! LEAVE MORRISSEY ALONE!!"...I swear I'll do it and it will be on Youtube and everyone will laugh at me. never mind. Moz is awesome, no matter what his ticket sales are like. I LOVE YOU MORRISSEY!!!!!
