Morrissey has joked of developing an ‘almost erotic dependency on various IV drips’ as his continuing treatment in Los Angeles for a bleeding ulcer and Barrett’s esophagus has caused more US dates to be postponed.
“I apologize to an almost annoying degree for any trouble I’ve caused to anyone by way of travel plans and dog-sitters and ticket-outlay and re-molded hairstyles,” he has said on fansite True To You.
The latest dates to be affected were booked in Denver, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, and the singer has this time spoken of his aim to return to the stage on February 27th in San Diego.
“My ulcer is now under reins, even if neither asleep nor dead, but the continued cause for concern is a slightly embarrassing absence of blood – most of which the bleeding ulcer relieved me of,” the singer continues.
“Anemia sets its own terms with quite obvious biological conclusions, and I have spent these last weeks under expert medical care in Los Angeles with an almost erotic dependency on various IV drips.”
