Morrissey Cancels Remaining Dates

Morrissey has been forced to cancel all of the remaining dates on his North American tour because of health issues.

The 53-year old former frontman of The Smiths has been suffering from pneumonia, a bleeding ulcer and Barrett syndrome, a chronic inflammation of the esophagus.

Morrissey was hospitalized in San Francisco, CA, on March 12 with double pneumonia and the singer's representative said in a statement, "Despite his best efforts to try to continue touring, Morrissey has to take a hiatus and will not be able to continue on the rest of the tour. Morrissey thanks all of his fans for their well wishes and thoughts."

A total of 22 dates have been canceled and refunds for all shows will be available at the point of purchase.
