A day after organizers of Morrissey’s planned concerts in Peru and Chile announced the ex-Smiths frontman had postponed his entire South American tour after he suffered “severe food poisoning,” the promoter of dates in Argentina and Brazil insisted that those shows will go on as scheduled.

Press and promoters in Peru and Chile this evening reveal Morrissey has postponed his entire South American tour after he and members of his team suffered “severe food poisoning” just hours before the ex-Smiths singer was due to return to the stage for the first time since canceling his North American tour.

After missed opportunities at a pair of U.S. shows booked around Coachella this past April, it finally happened: Bernard Sumner joined Johnny Marr on stage in England tonight for a one-song Electronic reunion as the duo performed their 1989 single “Getting Away With It” during the ex-Smiths guitarist’s slot opening for New Order.

The first glimpse of Morrissey’s upcoming concert film “Morrissey 25: Live” hit the web in the form of a minute-long trailer put together by the film’s theatrical distributor SpectiCast, which is marketing the “immersive cinematic concert experience” as being available to screen in theaters beginning Aug. 29.

Morrissey today unveiled the first dates of his planned tour of South America, with three concerts confirmed for late July and early August in Brazil via the quasi-official fansite True To You — and at least 12 more dates by the former Smiths frontman still promised next month across Chile, Peru and Argentina.

Last month, the BBC program “Culture Show” ran a special on The Smiths tied to the 30th anniversary of the release of “Hand in Glove,” a half-hour examination of the band’s ever-growing legacy through “the look, the lyrics, the issues and the riffs.” You can now watch the entire special via uploader hipsterdisco2.

Morrissey is heading back out on the road this summer — but it appears he’s scaled back his initial touring plans, announcing today that he’ll perform a dozen concerts in South America next month, but not, it would seem, the seven concerts previously announced for Mexico.

With a handful of U.K. concert appearances coming up this month, Johnny Marr stopped by BBC Two’s “Later… With Jools Holland” this week, with the program airing a pair of tunes (“The Right Thing Right” off The Messenger and The Smiths’ “Bigmouth Strikes Again”).

It’s Morrissey’s birthday today, and while the ever-dour singer celebrated by declaring war on foie gras, one of his fans took the opportunity to drop a real surprise, marking Moz’s 54th with a leak of ultra-rare, pro-shot video capturing the singer’s first-ever solo concert, with Moz backed by Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, in full.

Because it’s increasingly true that you can indeed find anything on the Internet, here’s a brand-new way for Morrissey fans to kill an hour: by listening to a robot recite the former Smiths frontman’s full Wikipedia entry out loud for a full 59 minutes and 54 seconds.

As Johnny Marr wraps up his U.S. tour in support of solo album The Messenger, he pulled a very special guest up on stage last night in Brooklyn: former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke who helped play “How Soon Is Now?” in an on-stage reunion of half of that legendary band. Check out video of the performance.

Johnny Marr is wrapping up his U.S. tour in support of solo album The Messenger, and found time to stop by “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” last night to perform the record’s title track on air and then stuck around for a web-only performance of “How Soon Is Now?” — both of which you can see here.

Johnny Marr surprised fans in San Francisco on Saturday night by pulling an old friend on stage: Billy Duffy of The Cult, who joined Marr and his band to rip through “I Fought the Law,” the 1958 classic by The Crickets’ Sonny Curtis popularized first by the Bobby Fuller Four and then The Clash.
