Let It Never Be Said That Steven Patrick Morrissey Lacks a Way with Words

February 18th, 2013

Best concert cancellation excuse ever. I am terribly sorry that the next three shows have been moved back. The worst is for the best. I am certainly on the road to recovery, but caution and prevention demand further IV blood work lest I keel over and die before your very eyes. I apologize to an […]
