In a move that hardly comes as a surprise, Morrissey’s management has announce today that is canceling or “postponing” all the Mancunian singer’s planned UK and EU tour dates.

The news follows former Hacienda DJ Dave Haslam’s speculation that the gigs may be cancelled, while he was organising “One Nation Under A Groove” protest party to run concurrently with the former Smiths singer’s hometown gig in Manchester on June 8th.

A response to the protest was issued on Morrissey’s Facebook page:

 “‘Former Morrissey fans’” have not organized anything. That “Has-Been Haslam” character was never a Morrissey fan.”

“And his agenda, stated as using music to spread peace, could not be any further from the truth. He is simply using the situation to gain some much needed attention to himself. Apparently his golden years have not been kind.”

“If he really wanted to make a political statement he would make one about the Politicians. But no, that is not what he wants here. He is using this platform for his own agenda. At the end of the day, bullshit is bullshit.”

“We are in the business of creating music and performing music. We are actually not in the business of politics, or bullshit…”

The cancellation announcement of the tour would follow later in the day. Meanwhile, Dave Haslam took to twitter using the hashtag #vivalove to comment on the situation, eventually stating to the NME that:

“Maybe that’s it. I doubt Morrissey will ever tour Europe again.”

UPDATE >>>> Hearing amazing rumours about the Morrissey gigs in Manchester… If true, we will be offering 2-4-1 cocktails at our ‘One Nation Under A Groove’ event to anyone with an used/unusable Morrissey ticket #VivaLove pic.twitter.com/X9BEmhKLAo

Absolute result! Morrissey’s management team issue a statement name-calling me – they are clearly rattled by the ‘Love Music Hate Racism’ event coinciding with his gig in Manchester on July 8th, this is the best turn of events ever #VivaLove pic.twitter.com/WuHV2mxbK6

It’s costing me more to put on the event than it will cost any Morrissey fan to go to the gig, but anyway, thanks for appreciating the awesome message. I really hope the gigs are NOT cancelled by the way.
