Damn, even Morrissey’s book signings are getting cancelled these days. Though, honestly, we can’t fault the Mozzer here. It appears Barnes & Noble of Union Square NYC “announced in error” Morrissey’s rather surprising book signing appearance on December 12.
Here’s the email we received minutes ago, in full, from a B&N rep:
I’m writing from Barnes & Noble Union Square. There was a miscommunication solely on the part of the store and Morrissey was not scheduled to make an appearance here on 12/12/13 as we had announced in error. We hope to see him in the future, but there is NO scheduled signing for Morrissey at this time. We greatly apologize to his fans and our customers for any inconvenience this has caused.
And here are the retailers tweets from moments ago…
ATTN: There is NO scheduled Morrissey event Thurs 12/12. We GREATLY apologize for our miscommunication. Please call 212.253.0810 w/questions
