For the nth time, Morrissey cancelled a series of shows this time in South America. It was reported that the ex-Smiths frontman and his team suffered severe food poisoning
.
Morrissey is already in England to recover his health. The 14 canceled dates in South America will be rescheduled in the coming months, according to a concert promoter in Peru.

In a recent letter written by Morrissey to his fans, the 54-year old singer apologized for postponing the concert and explained that it was mainly due to his health problems that he had to cancel the planned dates.

Morrissey wrote: "I can't give words to the sorrow I feel at the loss of perfect Peru. Oh, black cloud. After such a victorious and uplifting welcome of Lima love, the contaminated jinx had its way via a simple restaurant meal of penne pasta and tomato. Three hours later, both I, and security Liam have collapsed with a deadly and delirious bedridden disease. Five days of round-the-clock medical supervision just barely controls the corrosively toxic food poisoning."

It's no longer a surprise for fans and observers that the King of Mope has a habit of canceling shows over the past years. The South American tour was supposed to be the follow-up for the cancelled North American leg last March.

Morrissey recently revealed in an interview to a Chilean newspaper interview that he nearly died earlier this year and suffered "from a bleeding ulcer, double pneumonia and a throat condition called Barrett's oesophagus".

"It was terrible. I had played in January in Ohio, and I was perfect, but the next night at the hotel I collapsed. I lost consciousness and when I recovered, I was covered in black blood and did not know what it was," he explained.

The singer is a known vegetarian and animal rights activist. He recently won a court battle against Channel 4 for the unauthorised use of a Smiths song in Gordon Ramsay's TV commercial.

He donated the payout from his victory, which amounts to nearly $15,000, to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA will use the money to fund its campaign against the sale of the controversial goose-liver product sold at a luxury store in London.

Morrissey has a new film titled Morrissey 25: Live From Hollywood High. The film celebrates the singer's 25th anniversary as a solo artist. It will have it U.S. theatres on August 29th.

The Australian release date for Morrissey's new film has yet to be confirmed.
