3 July 2007

Following last night's performance at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va., Morrissey was seen by an ear, nose, and throat specialist this morning in Washington, D.C. The doctor confirmed that Morrissey was still suffering from a viral infection that had caused the postponement of several shows last week, and that his throat had not healed. As a result he has ordered that Morrissey not sing again before the 7th of July at the earliest. Consequently, in addition to tonight's show in Baltimore, the scheduled concerts in Atlantic City, N.J. at The Borgata on the 5th of July and Holmdel, N.J. at PNC Bank Arts Center on the 6th of July have been postponed. An announcement will be made as soon as possible as to whether it is possible to reschedule any of these shows, and in the meantime ticket holders should maintain possession of their tickets. The tour is scheduled to recommence in Boston on the 7th of July at the Bank Of America Pavilion.
