i was there tonight and morrissey really didn't have a choice, it was painful to listen to him because it was obviously hurting him when he tried to hit the higher notes..
i'm sad because i only just recovered from a nasty virus myself today which had earlier this week kept me from seeing morrissey and now this..
but to those people who think he should have just kept on:
obviously you weren't there. he is a singer, his job is to sing and if he can't do that anymore, what else is he supposed to do up on stage?
he seemed embarrassed and disappointed that he couldn't carry on. i do understand that he just rushed off..
during IJWTSTBH he changed the lyrics into "in about 10 minutes i will be dead" shortly before he left the stage. and at some point he added that cortison and anti-biotics all didn't work, so i guess that was some sort of announcement.
i was standing on the left side of the stage and i don't think the russell brand etc. thing was impromtu, there were people rushing around the backstage area and what i assume was the vip "lounge", so i could imagine that that was perhaps morrissey's idea..
