Morrissey Calls Fan Attack Reports 'Absolute Crap'

Morrissey had some choice words for TMZ, which reported over the weekend that the former Smiths frontman got attacked by a concert goer during a show in San Diego.

“The only trouble at San Diego were the fictitious reports by TMZ that I had been attacked," Moz wrote on his semi-official website. "This is absolute crap. The concert and the crowd were a dream night for me. I was honored and grateful for such an excited and loving response. It concluded an outstanding set of U.S dates and I am absolutely thrilled. TMZ, alas, live exclusively in a world of their own, and certain sections of the press seem enraged that there is nothing negative to report.”

The incident in question happened Saturday night (November 10) during a show at Copley Symphony Hall. While performing "Every Day Is Like Sunday," a crowd of fans stormed the stage and video footage appeared to show one attendee striking the singer-songwriter in the face before getting dragged out in a chokehold by security. Moz was then swiftly escorted offstage, and reportedly didn't come back out for an encore nor conduct a meet and greet with fans after the show. Thankfully, he was not hurt.
