Morrissey criticises Italian venue as ‘just a field with a roof’


morrisseywideHe might be finally pressing through a tour relatively trouble-free, but that doesn’t mean it’s all smiles in the Morrissey camp at the moment.

Taking to his fansite True To You once again, the former Smiths singer has lamented the state of venues he played in Rome and Milan earlier this month, describing the latter as ‘just a field with a roof’.




“I have never looked out at such an unhappy, uncomfortable and trapped audience in my life,” he continued. “We all did our best. Consider the many majestic concert halls in Milan, and yet there we were on a brutal patch of waste ground on the edge of the city. It was unfathomable. I should stress that we have no idea what the venues are like until we arrive at them. Thankfully, everywhere else was a proper hall.”

Morrissey’s due back in the UK next month for a show at the O2 Arena in London on November 29th.
