British singer Morrissey has been rushed to hospital after collapsing on stage with breathing problems, emergency services said.

The 50-year-old former frontman of 1980s pop band The Smiths fell ill while performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, south-west England on Saturday (local time).

"Just after 9:00pm we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious," said a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service.

"We sent a paramedic in a doubled-crewed ambulance.

"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all.

"They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital [in Swindon] for further assessment."

His condition was not thought to be life threatening, she added.

"Morrissey was brought in to the accident and emergency department," said a Great Western Hospital spokeswoman.

"He has been seen by the medical team. At this stage his condition is stable."

Morrissey is touring Europe and North America after releasing his ninth solo album, Years of Refusal, in February.


Wow....

He's Still Ill

My advice to you all is this...

1. Buy as many Morrissey vinyls as you can.

2. Wait till he kicks the bucket.

3. Profit off that ****.

Someone needs to tell the man to lay off the chocolate.

You're clearly not a Smiths fan. "What Difference Does It Make?" is the title of one of their songs.

Both of them.

I found out a little more about myself when I first saw this thread.
To confirm the story and try to find a little more on his condition, I visited the BBC news website only to find the same story with little else to offer about his condition.
OK then, I'll try Sky News. If anything particularly nasty has happened to him they're sure to have a man on the spot ready to report any 'Breaking News'...but nothing!
At least no more than I had already read on the other news sites.
In my desperation, I turned to Reuters and then shamefully The Sun website in a vain attempt for worse news.
What the fuck am I doing!?
It was at this point I realised I'd done exactly the same thing with the death of Michael Jackson. To my shame.
It's not that I don't like Morrissey the man. In fact I admire him and his music.
Was I really hoping he'd died? Or at least gravely ill?
Apparently so. I don't know for sure. Maybe I would have settled for a coma. Ironically.
The image of him collapsing on stage and going out in such a manner was in some way morbidly appealing.
Terrible, terrible me?

khfreek 10-25-2009 07:17 PM

I just found out what happened to him, brace yourselves...

Frankly Mr. Jamie that's the truth.

All joking aside,I do hope he's OK.I have a huge emotional attachment to Moz and his work,it really soundtracked an unhappy few years.
