Morrissey quits final u.k. show after fan throws drink

Morrissey's UK tour has ended on a bad note - he refused to complete a show in Liverpool on Saturday night (07Nov09) after a fan threw a missile at his head.

Last month (Oct09), the former Smiths frontman was forced to pull out of two shows after he collapsed during a performance in Swindon.

He returned after several days rest to fulfil his commitments at London's Royal Albert Hall.

But as he took to the stage in Liverpool on Saturday for his final stop on the British leg of his world trek, Morrissey fell victim to the antics of an over-zealous fan - who threw a drink at the star during his second song.

The rocker was kneeling down and shaking hands with audience members at the front of the stage when a large plastic beaker of beer struck him on the head. After standing up and wiping his face, Morrissey muttered "Goodbye" into his mic and walked offstage, followed by his band.

After 15 minutes, the booing and jeering crowd at the city's Echo Arena was told by an aide that the singer would not be returning to finish the show.

Fans were promised a full refund.

The singer is due in Holland on Monday (09Nov09) to kick-start the European leg of the jaunt.
