British songwriting icon Morrissey has stopped a Liverpool show after only two songs, due to being hit on the head by a missile.

Morrissey has had a difficult year. Wherever the singer has enjoyed great leaps forward, these have almost immediately been accompanied by traumatic problems.

The icon's successful new album 'Years of Refusal' was followed by a series of Stateside tour dates, however these were cancelled due to ongoing health problems.

Returning to the UK, Morrissey's health continued to plague him. A series of postponements left the singer facing a busy Autumn tour, which seems to have taken its toll. The singer fainted onstage in Swindon, with the former Smiths icon being rushed to hospital.

Now seemingly well again, the singer took to the stage at Liverpool Echo Arena on Saturday (November 7th) in good form. Chatting with the crowd Morrissey sprinted through opening song 'This Charming Man'.

Merseyside Police have been informed about the incident, Echo Arena general manager Tim Banfield said.
