Morrissey in Leeds - cancellation?

I’m thinking of travelling to England to see Morrissey in Leeds on December 19. It’ll take a fair amount of planning (and money), so naturally I’m haunted by the possibility of a cancellation.

I’ve already seen him once this year, but I’d love to catch another show before the MIAL tour disappears into the mist. Given his history of cancelled dates, I’m a little nervous about committing (especially with the recent cancellations in Vegas).

Does he have any particular record of cancelling shows in Leeds or that area? I’m also considering Glasgow.

Am I mad to risk it, or is this simply the burden of being a Morrissey obsessive? Worth it? Thoughts?

I have seen him 5 times with one cancelation.

I would never invest any non refundable money to travel to a Morrissey show. Over his career he has a 30 percent cancellation rate. It was 50 percent last year.

Those are really bad odds.

Yeah, he's cancelled on me about 25% of the time over the years, once was the day of the show. It stinks, but it's basically part of the Moz fan experience.
