Morrissey has postponed his planned tour stop in Houston tonight with opener Interpol, citing the “extreme flood conditions” in the area in the wake of Tropical Storm Imelda that could prevent fans from being able to get to the concert. The concert was rescheduled for Oct. 28.
The postponement was announced a little before 5 p.m. Houston time.
Here’s a statement form Morrissey’s team shared by the venue on Facebook:
“Due to complications from the extreme flood conditions in the Houston area, the Morrissey / Interpol concert set to take place tonight has been re-scheduled for Oct 28th. It was determined to move the event in consideration and respect of the troubles that people in the area have recently encountered. It is the group’s wishes that the rescheduled date can better serve all who would like to come to the event. Morrissey’s team reached the decision after hearing that a number of ticket buyers were having issues attending tonight’s event, along with information of current road closures and other related problematic details. The team would like to express their deepest apologies for any inconvenience to the fans. All tickets originally purchased for September 21st show will be honored for the new date on October 28th, 2019.”

I’m sitting in the parking lot wondering why I drove 3 hours knowing this outcome was highly possible.
I guess there is a little mud on the sidewalk next to the venue, but there’s really no issues at all with access.
Well, it is Morrissey. Any excuse will do.
Don’t you get it?? He made it rain! He felt a sick headache coming on. It’s what he does.
