    Morrissey Cancels Show After Being Hit With Bottle

    Morrissey's ill fated Europe tour continues to add to its series of incidents following a collapse by the Moz a few weeks back in Swindon. This time it's a fan instigated cancellation at tonight's show in Liverpool's Echo Arena. After opening with "This Charming Man" and a bit into "Black Cloud", a concert attendee launched a beer bottle at Morrissey while he was shaking hands with fans in the front row. Following being hit in the head, Morrissey then composed himself then said "Goodbye" before walking off the stage with the band as seen in the footage above.

    Devo played at The Music Box at the Fonda this week to promote the re-issue and re-mastering of two of their albums, the first evening reserved for the group's debut breakthrough, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo! with the second showcasing the band's commercial success, Freedom of Choice.

    Immensely influential to so many musical acts of the past and present, Devo proved they are still as relevant as ever.  Both sold out concerts, supported by the eclectic and puzzling Reggie Watts, offered attendees unique and different experiences.  As fans tend to be more passionate about the Q & A album, did Night 1 reign supreme?  Or did the tried (and tired) "Whip It" still resonate amongst the die-hard fans in the crowd on Night 2?
