A good thing: he's writing a novel. I'm going to read it so hard when it comes out.

All he said is "They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already"

That probably means skin cancer. Not gonna kill him as long as they keep scraping. In fact I won't be surprised if what they "scraped" was pre-cancerous skin growths but that he, being Morrissey, prefers to say Cancerous Tissues. Ah well, good luck to the old bastard regardless.

Sad to hear but interesting article Briks.

Despite his health problems i admire the mindset he has

Spoiler for Morrissey quote:
"They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already, but whatever. If I die, then I die. And if I don't, then I don't. Right now I feel good. I am aware that in some of my recent photos I look somewhat unhealthy, but that's what illness can do. I'm not going to worry about that, I'll rest when I'm dead."


To me it seems he doesn't want to quit being a musician but that he just can't handle it due to health problems.
it also seems to me he is switching his creative medium to a less stressful one, if his body can't handle touring as a musician, f*ckin write novels then, that's just a smart move.

I hope he gets better and i hope he doesn't give up music forever.
