No Rock And Roll Fun

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HANG OUT WITH GEORGE MICHAEL: Less than a week after George Michael pulled out of a gig with a wonky throat, fellow 80s survivor Morrissey axed a gig for the same reason - although Mozzer, poor lamb, had a fever and sinusitis as well as laryngitis. He was meant to be headlining KROQ's inland invasion; oddly, it fell to Ian Brown to announce the non-appearance of the Moz.

Morrissey has been told not to speak for two days, something which he should find incredibly easy.
