Morrissey’s health scare onstage
Steven Patrick Morrissey, the 50 year old ex-lead singer from the Smiths, was rushed to a British hospital around 9pm last night in the middle of performing a show at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.
The 1000 audience members were taking in the Smith’s 1983 classic tune This Charming Man when his medical episode took place. He reportedly fell onto the stage, unconscious and was gingerly carried off by the stage crew.
Some at the show said he was looking strained and wincing while performing. Morrissey, who just happens to be doing a world tour, has already canceled a number of events this year due to an “unspecified illness”.
He was taken off to the nearby Great Western Hospital and there is still no word yet on his condition.
God speed in his recovery.
Keep on Jammin’

Jeeez, that was a dramatic health fail. Hopefully, just due to stress or something. Looking forward to seeing him on stage again.

I’m a huge fan of the Smiths, so I hope Morrissey’s ok. I wish him a speedy recovery so he can continue giving us chances to enjoy his great music. Thanks for the video, btw!

When I found out about this Meeting People, I was like holy S–T! We”ve lost far too many great musicians lately and I don’t want to lose anymore of them!
Thanx for the comment.
