As Billboard reported yesterday morning, Morrissey has been admitted to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. On Thursday, Morrissey's tour was scheduled to play the Whiting Auditorium in Flint, but mere hours before the show, the Flint gig and two others (Minneapolis and Chicago) were postponed due to "band member illness." Moz had been spotted earlier in the day on Thursday at Somerset (at Gucci!) so it seemed the illness pertained to a member of his backing band, but apparently not. According to Morrissey's publicist, he has been admitted to Beaumont for tests relating to a possible bladder infection.
UPDATE: As first reported by a Brooklyn Vegan, Morrissey has been diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer and has postponed tour dates. Morrissey's tour is now scheduled to resume on February 9th in Las Vegas. Ticketholders for the postponed shows are encouraged to hold onto tickets as there will be an attempt to make up the dates.

Poor Moz. He didn't have the best time at his 2011 show at the Royal Oak Music Theater, and now he's back in Royal Oak...
