Morrissey has said that his next two shows in the United Kingdom will be the last times he performs in his home country, Stereogum notes. He claims that there is no use in touring without any planned future releases. Read the full statement below via fansite True to You.
There is absolutely no way that we can generate any interest from record labels in the United Kingdom, therefore the imminent two nights at Hammersmith are likely to be our final ever UK shows. We are obsessively grateful for all interest and loyalty from our audience … throughout 28 years … but without new releases, there is no point in any additional touring. Thank you for so many absolutely incredible times. The pleasure and privilege is mine …
