Kristeen Young kicked off the Morrissey tour, but why?

"We won't be continuing as opening band for the Morrissey tour. Thanks to all who showed up early and gave us such life-sustaining enthusiasm. Thanks to Morrissey for his years of support and generosity. There are lots of plans and lots of possibilities and we can't wait to tear into them."

Is it because she said she didn't have a virus, which was the official reason a show was recently cancelled? or some other reason?

Rabid burger consumption backstage?

She's a friend of a friend. I'll investigate.

Apparently not the first time she's been dropped from a Morrissey tour:

Also, opener Kristeen Young has dropped off bill. In 2007, she was asked to leave a Morrissey tour due to inappropriate stage comments regarding Morrissey's sexuality, according to reports.

Then why was she invited back in the first...

yeah weird

I mean it wouldnt be like Morrissey to create drama or make a scene out of nothing

He praised her a lot in his book.

At the end, so you may not have seen it...

btw he played kick the bride down the aisle the other night, sounds pretty good

Waiting for Johnny Fever

it's clashing with his FIFA investigation

I haven't heard anything back yet.

I'd have never ever heard of her if she hadn't been opening for his tours forever, I was under the impression he was her only fan

Passing on a cold?

Never got a response from my friend, but Kristeen has apparently addressed it herself. http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/222783/morrissey-cancels-entire-tour-blames-opening-act/

Morrissey is a fucking baby.

Whole rest of tour now cancelled, including those with the Cliff Richard and Tom Jones support slots. Cliff said he is very disappointed.

He praised her a lot in his book.

At the end, so you may not have seen it...

hearty lol

also is there no one at deathandtaxesmag.com who is capable of proofreading

i think it's called laziness

"La chanson "I'm not a man" justifie à elle seule de jeter deux oreilles au nouvel album de Morrissey..."

It's been quite Disheartening to see the "Facebook" Hatred thrown about by Our Former Friends/ Working Partners Kristeen Young and Tony Visconti.
I do feel that Someone needs to Speak Up for Moz in this situation as it is unbearable to watch people you once trusted , Attack and Pick Away at your Friend.
In my experience ANYONE associated with the Morrissey Camp know they are solely there because of Morrissey himself.
He chooses to tour/ work with certain people.
For Kristeen and Tony Visconti to go on about Her being better off now, without considering Morrissey's 9 years of help and promotion is Very Disappointing.
Only speaking from my experience, with the crew and Moz falling ill in Miami, for Kristeen to deny she was truly sick seems disingenuous.
I was told after the show in Miami by Crew and Security that there was some concern because Kristeen was obviously unwell.
Our crew then tried to keep her at a reasonable distance but being in such close quarters for months these things sometimes happen.
I am Upset that in this situation Kristeen could not take the tour as a whole into consideration and just comply with the postponement announcement.
One could only assume it was necessary for her to justify herself and ultimately receive some promotion out of the matter.
This combined with Tony Visconti's Parrot Like affirmation on "Facebook" that "she is better off, is Morrissey Capable of being handled?" is Repulsive.
This is a MAN who worked closely with us on a record and several sessions that Suddenly flips into Schoolgirl mode with "yeah you tell em" Chatter...??

Good Riddance to False Friends.

Jesse Tobias

Very Disappointing

go back to this imo

ha

POLL: which of these hot new acts will receive pitchfork's coveted "best new music" status

Our Former Friends
Speak Up for Moz
Crew and Security
Tony Visconti's Parrot

of course the m0rrissey-s0l0 krew comments are a gem: "well, its obvious that he has aids now!!1!"

who's Jesse Tobias?

Morrissey's lead guitarist/co-writer these days, formerly husband/bandmate of ex-Frente singer Angie Hart (^^), Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist for long enough to shoot one music video in 1992

What's happened to Boz?

Got a middle ear infection, lied about it.

I'm very Disappointed that this board of I Love Morrissey fans Has lowered itself To this KIND of Thing.

Boz still plays in the band and is in fact the official Music Director (sounds wanky, doesn't it? but at least we are left in no doubt as to who is to blame).

Jesse Tobias also played with ALANIS MORISSETTE.
