obviously no Morrissey fans  in here then

Ooooh I hope he is ok...it just makes me feel old - unfortunately this is how life is, our heroes of our young lives will age and eventually die and then so will we. Life, age and er..that kind of shit.

que sera sera         

Nail on head

I hope he's just being a drama bitch, must admit I love The Smiths more than the later Morrissey.

Just seen it on the news aswell. Apparantely he's got form for cancelling shows but this is real (That's what the suit on the tele said)

Oh REYT tune whatever way

 I didn't realise that you wrote poetry, I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry Mr Shankly

It takes guts to be gentle and kind Ultimate Smiths

 Massive Smiths fan (kind of defined my youth).; I do hope he's OK.

Oi!! He's the same age as me!!   

Quite a lot of people I know were at that gig - apparently they he was clutching his throat a couple of times during the song, and then fell to his knees at the end of it.
The ones who didn't see that just thought some fans had got onto the stage and caused a kerfuffle.

But you're much prettier Moomin

Any updates on his condition?

An update ... Seems he's going to be  ok

I love the Mozza, I hope he's OK. I never got to see The Smiths (my all-time favourite band) play live, but I've seen him in concert a couple of times and he's brilliant.

Update, he's out of hospital thank goodness.

Well I listened to it all as breaking news on R5 and it was anounced that there wasn't much to worry about. All us guys of a certain age have occasional little incidents. They will have given him a full MOT in Hospital and he will have been told if there is anything important.
