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.

Once bitten twice shy
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.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIf the t0sser who threw the bottle didn't want to see him, why bother going there in the first place, other than to cause some degree of upset?

I'd settle for the miserable sod just cheering up. He was miserable in the 80's when his girlfriend was in a coma but surely he should have moved on by now

If he's too ill to face that many people then maybe he shouldn't be taking people's money.
Or maybe he should get a proper job.

FTFY.
Or maybe he should get a proper job.

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