Morrissey being treated for cancer :(

zef

I was saddened by this news today.
Anyone going through cancer treatment deserves more than to be called a 'c*nt' -
There are lots of other people who deserve your vitriol one thousand times more than a singer who has brought hope to 2 generations.

Poor guy. Hope he gets better soon.

You're right, he's a supreme cúnt.

That is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and Kentucky Fried shít every day

That's what Morrissey has to say on the Norway Massacre.

I still hate the veggie fooker but I hope he gets through this ordeal so I can keep hating his opinionated veggie head!!

He is human and he needs to be loved...just like anybody else does

Get well soon Morrissey. Love the Smiths

How Soon Is Now

He only just had a gig the other day so hes obviously feeling ok.

It actually hasnt been confirmed yet either by him only that hes had work done on it so until he comes out and says it 100 percent moz will outlive us all

Either way if the Irish gig goes ahead it will be his last id imagine.

Have to laugh at some of the media outlets covering this like they give two ****s about him on a normal day of the week! Just goes to show people dont give a **** about you normally unless theres something wrong with u or you have done something and they can use you to promote themselves!!

He's had a lot of health problems the past couple of years. Sorry to hear this. His response was typical Morrissey though

"They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already, but whatever," he told the publication.

"If I die, then I die. And if I don't, then I don't."

He went on to say he feels he’s reached an age when he "should no longer be making music".

"Many composers of classical music died at age 34. And I'm still here, and nobody knows what to do with me.

SPM is a genius, and I hate the way that word is used in modern times

Always been a huge admirer of Morrissey, especially in The Smiths. I remember I first heard The Smiths in 2002 and couldnt believe how someone could write with such honesty so well. His lyrics touched a lot of ppl, always a sense of someone was in the trenches with you when listening to his music. He gave great voice to the ordinary experience of life, never compromised himself or get caught up in any of the pitfalls of fame.

That's why I love him!

To look at photos or videos of him in late 2012 for example and compare them to recent ones, the difference is absolutely staggering. Nobody ages that much over less than eighteen months, and I suspect he has been sick for far longer than he's let on

I'm more saddened by this than I would have thought possible. He seems a petty and trucelent man in recent times but is a genuine genius and a shining example of what pop stars once were and should always be.

I've seen him in concert twice in Galway and twice in Dublin. He is the master of the stage and I wish him good health.

Perhaps if he'd eaten a few bacon sarnies he'd have been less of a miserable bast**d. The vegan diet didn't do much good for him anyways.

Considering many of the statements the man has come out with, cnut is a pretty apt description of him. I doubt he'd have much sympathy for anyone going through cancer treatment if they ate meat.

He tried to rip off the drummer and bass player of the Smiths for royalties too, the judge when deciding against him in court called him "devious, truculent and unreliable"

He just described me in the bedroom...

Never had any time whatsoever for either him or his music, but i wish him well.

Doubt it, he'd probably have died in his thirties.

I'm not going to ask "Who?" because at this stage of the thread, I've figured out that he is a singer, but I was genuinely unaware of this persons existence until now. Busy life, not being interested in popular music and all that I suppose..

Anyway, RIP, or get well or whatever...

What kind of cancer is it?

It's well known that he hates smoking, is a vegetarian as is well known, is not a druggie or even a dabbler in drugs, and I doubt if he drinks much. Basically he is 'straight-edge' baring the odd glass of wine I think?

Not a good look for the health fascists if guys like Morrissey get cancer, surely?

CathyMoran

Would not have been a fan but he came up on my radar when he was diagnosed with Baretts Oesophagus (see links one and two ) which can be a precursor for oesophageal of which I am an 8 year survivor. He does have some great songs and I wish him well.

We will never see the likes of him in music again

Barely There

I disagree with nearly every public utterance he comes out with, but I still love the guy and his music.

I've seen him live on a few occasions, most recently in Vicar Street, which was a great intimate venue to see him in.


Years and years ago while still in college I was in McDaids off Grafton Street and he was sitting at the bar. I had to go up and tell him what a big fan I was, I still inwardly cringe at the memory, but he was very charming and nice.

I hope he gets well.

This is it. He's a lyrical genius. I love him even though I do eat 'death'.

'Sing me to sleep, I'm tired and I, I want to go to bed'

But there is a light that never goes out and his music will live on. He doesn't look very well

super_furry

The Smiths were good and have some great songs but his solo output has been muck and he comes across as a bigger and bigger dick with every passing year.

Still, hope he gets well.

How Soon Is Now

I assume he will release some kinda statement himself soon seeing as many people will want to know as he is touring and it's been thrown around now that he's "dying"

Weather he is or not I'd say he's delighted to know expose felt the need to mention him! Ha ****.

osarusan

I hope he recovers completely so he can continue to spout nonsense and I can continue to be pissed off by his comments.
