A hale and hearty Morrissey-- thought fit to take the stage following a nasty little throat infection, some postponed gigs, a doctor's visit, a presumed clean bill of health, and a Letterman appearance-- has shelved his touring aspirations again following a performance last night at Vienna, Virginia's Wolf Trap. It seems Mr. Morrissey is... wait for it... still ill.

Thus far Moz has postponed tonight's show at the Rams Head in Baltimore The status of his remaining tour dates remains unclear at this time, although an announcement is expected soon. and two more dates this week in New Jersey. He hopes to return to the stage July 7 in Boston.

According to a press release from tour promoter Live Nation, Baltimore-based Smiths/Moz tribute Girlfriend in a Coma will entertain folks who happen to trek out to Rams Head tonight unawares. It's a free gig and it's open to the public, so if you still haven't made holiday plans, there you go. Tickets for tonight's Moz gig will be honored at the rescheduled date, however.
