On a Morrisey fan website forum - fans were discussing an upcoming show that had not been announced... but apparently had been posted on ticket master
guess who posted to clear things up?
apparently, good ol' Merck! (Morrisey is signed with Sanctuary)
http://www.morrissey-solo.com/articles/04/08/09/1717211.shtmlThe post read:
"I would normally not post like this but I want to nip this in the bud immediately. We have not confirmed any shows past September and while we have offers to do dates all over the world - including Philadelphia - nothing is confirmed beyond September and there will certainly be no shows going on sale this weekend. When and if we confirm any shows we will let you know. In the meantime I would appreciate it if David would remove this thread in order to avoid further confusion.
Thanks to you all for your support.
Best wishes,
Merck Mercuriadis
Sanctuary Group "
btw: some really funny similarities in comments there by the Moz (Morrisey) fans...similar to GN'R fan comments
such as : Philly always gets canceled...
and
Whay don't you guys book more GA venues for the US tour? You know that seated venues at Moz shows can end in diaster, and then you have to end up paying the venue to replace the seats that get torn out, fans get hurt when the chairs fall on top of them, etc. A general admission show always makes the atmosphere better, which makes Morrissey perfrom better(usually), and makes everyone happy because they have a chance to be up front rather than people who don't deserve to be.
and
I doubt that morrisseymusic.com even knows there is a tour going on, the way that site is run.
and
can't morrissey do anything that doesn't result in the torture of his fans???
and
Get yourself and your artist a decent website and put an end to the half-baked attempt you are currently using. Poor management for so many reasons.
and in response to that comment, this:
poor management?? are you insane?? this is by far, hands down, not even close to any other... the best moz has been managed/promoted maybe ever and at least since the late eighties! all the albums sold. the incredible chart placement! none of that would have been possible without this label. get a fucking clue. a couple things go wrong: spain, misposted show on ticketmaster and people get worked up so fast you'd think they had years of experience themselves managing/promoting artists. morrissey will tour the u.s. soon. he said so and sanctuary said so. isn't that good enough for you?? to all of you who slag him constantly over this shit, let me ask you one question... will you still go see him when he comes to your town? of course you will. lighten up already
does ANY of this sound familiar?!!!

anyhow - if it was indeed Merck, cool of him to post to "nip it in the bud"
seems it was legit (the post) cuz apparently shortly after (right after it actually appears) the show in question was taken down from ticketmaster's site
So who knows..? Perhaps one day we will get a little visit or a comment from Merck here at htgth!
there's always buds that need nipping around here
