    I reckon the bottle-chucker just heard him sing "Take me out tonight" and took him at his word.

    I've booked tickets to see him twice and both times he pulled out, one year the prime motivator to get IOW festival tickets was Morissey headlining... again he pulled out.

    A friend of ours went to see him in Swindon a few weeks back when he collapsed after one song, he really is a lazy sod.

    Heaven knows, he's miserable now.

    Fully agree, it's just a shame that Morissey took it out on the wrong people. How many people would now pay to go and see him knowing he will probably do the same again. It's also more likely that someone will throw something at him again now.

    Are you sure you didn't accidentally steal some important landmark posts from him in a former life?

    Or maybe he should get a proper job.

    FTFY.

    Yes, that's fair enough. He's not strange: he just wants to live his life that way.
