Morrissey Released from Hospital

After collapsing onstage during a concert, former Smiths frontman Morrissey was released from the hospital last night (Oct. 25), reports Billboard.com. A spokeswoman for the Great Western Hospital in Swindon, England spoke about the singer’s condition, exercising the hospital’s policy on anonymity, “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 50-year-old singer was performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in the English city, which is approximately 100 miles west of London, as part of his Swords Tour on Saturday night (Oct. 24) when he became incapacitated and was subsequently ushered offstage by two band members.

Said Jillian Moody to the BBC, “I didn’t think he looked particularly well but then again, he’s well known as a reclusive character so I sort of thought that was just the way he was when he was onstage. He kept putting his hand up to his mouth as if he felt sick or perhaps he was trying to hide something, but he didn’t look particularly comfortable. He got through the whole song though … to rapturous applause at the end.” Morrissey’s website posted a statement thanking fans for their well wished and he is slated to perform a batch of dates in Europe through the rest of October and into November.
