Morrissey wrapped up his short tour of North America and South America on December 15th and now he's taken the time to express his heartfelt thanks and gratitude to fans attending the shows. In a new post titled The Human Voice Is The Soul, Moz reveals it was a "joyful" experience to perform for fans that "sang like an orchestra - every song an anthem, but this time infused with deeper meaning."
Moz took a brief shot at the press, but overall the post was filled with love and thanks for his "incredible" shows and the privilege of being able to still perform to so many loving fans of all ages.
Read his posting in full below, plus enjoy his two song performance that aired recently on Argentina's Fox Sports:
"I am lost to know how to express my thanks for this recent tour.
Joyful is not a word that trips easily off my tongue, but joyful it was. There seemed to me to be an even deeper emotional response, and a more powerful projection everywhere of goodwill - more lungful and younger crowds than ever before. Something has happened. What is it?
Every night the crowds sang like an orchestra - every song an anthem, but this time infused with deeper meaning. Perhaps it is partly because of the press and their childish smear campaigns - which we all, not just I, must endure. Perhaps it’s because only songs tell us who we really are, after all?
I wasn’t attacked or punched at San Diego - the press depress.
In fact, I had never felt so liberated in my life.
It is impossible to point to the best nights because they were all so incredible, but our two concerts in Chile and our concert in Peru reminded me of my privileged position to be on stage; it is life, yes, but with all the crap bits left out - for once. Tropicalia, San Diego, Sao Paulo and Mexico City were also particularly breath-taking.
I express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who came along.
backing into the future,
Morrissey"
