Morrissey shocked fans last Saturday, when he collapsed during a performance at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, England.
The British troubadour was struggling through a rendition of the Smith’s classic “This Charming Man”, when witnesses observed Morrissey stumble around on stage before falling to the ground.
An ambulance took him to Swindon’s Great Western Hospital where he was monitored overnight by staff and discharged the following day.
Hospital officials have no intentions to saddle the former Smiths frontman with exorbitant emergency fees and mounting debt, because that’s what happens in industrialized nations with universal health care.
Morrissey is expected to complete the remaining dates of his massive world tour, despite it not being the first such health scare the singer has faced this year.

Morrissey falling on stage was nothing compared to what I witnesses at The Pogues’ show at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.
Shane McGowan – poor Shane – he fell not once, not twice, but three times before they rolled out a cart that served as a seat for the rest of the show. And by the rest of the show, I mean that he either failed to answer the bell for the encore or they asked him not to bother.
Truly sad but apparently Los Angeles is the siren that Shane can’t ignore.
I’m guessing if he was over 65 or an infant in his mother’s belly, the hospital would have no problem killing him, ’cause that’s what they do in industrialized first-world countries, too! KNOCK-OFF the specious propaganda, and stick to MUSIC!!
