Morrissey has decided to cancel the remainder of his US tour after being treated in hospital for a respiratory infection.

The singer was in the middle of a 30-day tour when he was “rushed” to hospital in Boston on Saturday, according to a statement.

The medical attention “was not enough to shake off the virus, the recovery time for which is too lengthy to meet the final nine shows of the tour”.

Morrissey cancelled 22 US concerts last year due to ill health.

His ailments included pneumonia, an ulcer, the throat condition Barrett’s esophagus and anemia.

A statement on Morrissey’s Facebook page said: “It is with great sadness that the remainder of the US Tour has been cancelled.

“The respiratory infection Morrissey contracted in Miami has worsened, and in the interest of making a full recovery, all further touring plans have been halted.

“Morrissey thanks his fans for their compassion, understanding, and well-wishes during this difficult period as he recuperates.”

The cancelled shows include one with Cliff Richard in New York on June 21.

A separate statement on the semi-official fan site True-To-You said: “On Saturday, June 7th, following the show at Boston Opera House, Morrissey collapsed and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital where doctors treated Morrissey for <<acute fever>>.”

The statement blamed support act Kristeen Young for passing on “a horrendous cold”.

Kristeen Young hit back in a Facebook post, which has since been removed, saying she was suffering from an allergy attack.

Tom Jones will appear alongside Morrissey at a Los Angeles concert in May, it has been announced.

“I will be Morrissey Official’s special guest at his show at the LA Sports Arena on May 10th,” wrote Tom Jones on Facebook.

Cliff Richard will also appear as a special guest at a Morrissey concert in New York on June 21 at the Barclays Centre.

Missouri singer Kristeen Young will join the performers on both dates – the first confirmed shows for Morrissey since he abandoned touring last year.

Morrissey, who eventually cancelled more than 40 dates, suffered a number of illnesses while on tour including a bleeding ulcer, Barrett’s oesophagus and double pneumonia.

The 54-year-old singer is expected to release a 10th solo studio album later this year.

In January, Morrissey took a swipe at the music industry saying: “The majority of people have lost faith in the music industry… It’s all, now, solely a question of marketing.

“All success stories are safe and dreary, and you will never be taken by surprise by a hit song that sounds out of place.”
