Morrissey released from hospital after collapsing on stage

Morrissey gave all his fans an early Halloween scare this past Saturday when the 50-year-old singer collapsed on stage in the middle of his opening song for the night, “This Charming Man.” The Guardian has been all over this story (as have most music blogs), and are now reporting that he’s been released from the hospital he was admitted to. A spokesperson told the paper the following: “Morrissey became unwell, and he was admitted overnight as a precautionary measure. He’s been seen by the medical team, much improved and now discharged home.”
The Guardian has also reported that the Moz apparently opened the concert saying, “Good evening…possibly.” That ominous introduction, combined with the fact that he looked a bit under the weather, suggested things weren’t going well. Fans told the Guardian he seemed reserved or tired when he came out on stage, but no one predicted that he was on the brink of exhaustion. The paper cited a blog as saying that when he was carried off stage, he appearing to be wincing, coughing and clutching at his shoulder.
Hopefully those holding concert tickets will still get a chance to see the Moz in the near future. Let’s all wish this charming man a speedy recovery.
