After the former Smiths frontman was forced to cancel a number of American tour dates in January due to “physical exhaustion”, Morrissey has announced a two-night run in Las Vegas next month.
Now that he’s in ‘good health’, the iconic singer will perform a pair of concerts at Las Vegas’ House of Blues on July 26 and 27.
Taking to his Instagram account, the musician (born Steven Patrick Morrissey) stated:
“Despite recent fiascoes, I will indeed be fully present in blood-soaked flesh at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on July 26 (Friday) and 27 (Saturday). ““Having hung upside down for several months, I am now in good health – like an arrow fully drawn and waiting to be fired: please fling me.” “Life begins again with full accompaniment from Jesse Tobias (guitar), Carmen Vandenberg (guitar), Camila Grey (keyboards), Solomon Walker (bass), and Matthew Walker (drums.) ” “Expect a night of thrust and parry – no-show tunes.” “If you can find a decent pair of shoes, by all means come along. There is nothing quite like physical proximity, I am assured. If you would rather not come, then you are obviously one-half of a twin pair of parakeets.” “Some people sing, some poison the air. But if life is meaningless then why was there not always nothing?”
In addition to his upcoming shows, Morrissey added that “good news was finally within our grasp” per his long-delayed ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ LP that he had struggled to release due to a dispute with his former label Capitol Records.
The singer had planned to drop the full length in 2023 yet the project was put on hold after he and his label and management company in 2022 parted ways.
“Hopefully, I will smell you in Vegas – where the audiences always stay the same age … are you in the mood?” “At large — Morrissey (sic),” he concluded.
