Morrissey attempted to join #TheShowMustBePaused yesterday – June 2nd – and received a stern rebuke from fans.
The singer made the post on Twitter, joining with a music industry wide event created by two Black women.
#TheShowMustBePaused was designed as a way for the industry to step back, to listen to the Black community, and to create a positive, progressive, forward path.
Morrissey's introduction was scarcely needed, given his habit of controversial statements couched in racist language.
The post was widely rebuked:

This can’t be the same @officialmoz who posted a racist video on his website about Stormzy headlining Glastonbury. Come the fuck on. https://t.co/g0qBok7fPf
