Morrissey recently canceled a gig in Iceland because the venue he was scheduled to perform at sold meat, and it was not going to stop because the former Smiths singer was in town. The outspoken vegetarian and animal rights activist informed fans on the website True to You, where he generally posts all updates Moz-related -- and there has been plenty in the past few months. Because the Harpa Concert Hall refused to sell only vegetarian food and no other concert venues were available, the singer skipped Iceland on his tour.
"I love Iceland and I have waited a long time to return, but I shall leave the Harpa Concert Hall to their cannibalistic flesh-eating bloodlust," the singer added.
On a different note entirely, the singer penned Autobiography in 2013, and it managed to stay within the Top 10 Bestsellers list for publisher Penguin Books during all of 2014. Reviews for the book were generally positive, which comes as no surprise since the singer is also a gifted lyricist who loves poetry.
"[Morrissey] is at his very best as he conveys what it was, and is, to be a youth lifted free by the sense of possibilities glimpsed in pop music and films and TV and poetry. He also writes as though he has a clear sense that Autobiography could provide the same kind of beacon, the same kind of life raft, for its most impressionable readers as he found in others. And that's exactly how he should write, for one of the main reasons Morrissey matters as he does is because he has always been that kind of artist," GQ wrote about the book.
Moz has most recently refused to give a fan an autograph, praised a bull that gored a matador and canceled other tour dates in Europe.
