UPDATE (7/13 @ 8am): Morrissey commented on the food poisoning ordeal. In a posting on True To You he detailed his bout with food poisoning (took five days of round the clock medical attention to nurse him back to health) and confirmed he'll be back on the road for Argentina & Brazil dates, but has not announced what will come of the shows he missed in Lima and Peru.
On July 9th Morrissey's South American tour was scheduled to kick off in Lima, Peru. Hours before the show concert promoter Colors Chile announced the tour dates were postponed due to a food poisoning issue and Morrissey's crew were headed back to England. There was some confusion over the tour postponement, as it initially seemed the entire South American tour was postponed, however on July 10th, Tickets For Fun, the concert promoter for the Brazil shows, made clear that those shows were NOT postponed.
Today Colors Chile posted another statement (via Morrissey Solo) that reveals the make up dates for the postponed shows will take place in August sometime after the Brazil shows are over. Read part of the translated statement below and read the full version here (translated here).
"...the agenda would continue with the concerts in Brazil on July 30, August 2 and August 4.
In Chile it is confirmed that their concerts will be held in August immediately after Brazil, said Rodrigo Perez, director of Colors Chile, however still working on the exact dates, which should be confirmed by the artist within the next few days - the logistics of coordinating the 7 concerts scheduled in the country."
