    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he had been ill with an undisclosed illness recently, as in the past year or two? #getwellsoon

    It's strange how sad I feel--I didn't know her, had only seen her on television a few times. But she seemed so smart, so happy, so sassy--I can't believe she's gone. #shilohpepin

    Let's hope it's a case of "So I drank one, it became four, and when I fell on the floor I drank more"! Or something similarly non-life-threatening.

    Oh, Moz, I love you, even though you canceled the concert I had tickets to this year only to reschedule it for when I will be 32 weeks pregnant. "Is there any point ever having children?" indeed!

    I never saw this girl on Oprah, but I read about her appearance on Jezebel. I always get so upset when a child with a chronic medical condition dies, even though I know life can end at any minute. She reminds me that I am very lucky to be here and live the life that I do, in spite of (maybe because of) the medical problems I had as a child.

    I don't know if anyone remembers Stormie Jones - she had the world's first heart-liver transplant. When I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House during one of my many bouts of illness, she was there, and she had such a great personality. She was always more concerned with the other kids than herself. I think kids with these chronic illnesses and disabilities have to develop larger-than-life personalities to cope with how different their lives are from other people's. #shilohpepin

    @chatterboxwriting: I am the mother of a profoundly disabled child. One of the hardest aspects of this life is that you get to know other families and other kids and, sometimes, those kids die. Before my son was born, I didn't know anyone who had lost a child; now I have lost count of the kids' funerals I have been too. It never gets easier.

    It's also a brutal reminder that, in our sanitised, medical-miracles-are-ten-a-penny world, there are still unsolvable problems and unhappy endings. And yet, amidst it all, I have seen more real joy, generosity of spirit and true serenity than I ever knew existed.

    My heart goes out to the parents of this gorgeous girl, I know how hard this time is for them, and how gut-wrenching the pain they must feel. I hope they are comforted by the huge outpouring of love the world shows for a little girl that it never really knew. #shilohpepin

    I wasn't at this concert but I saw him on the tour. We've seen him 6 times, which makes us novices by Morrissey-fan standards. #getwellsoon

    Did anyone else swoon over Chuck Klosterman's story about Morrissey's Hispanic fan base? Insanely poignant. I can't link to the whole thing, (those crazy author's who don't want [books.google.com] be reproduced without payment!) but here is a PDF from Google books of the first part of the story. Seriously cool. It's on page 65.

    This story really upset me. I had to say that. I don't care if my comment gets accepted or rejected, at this point I really need Moz to be okay. #getwellsoon

    @margotvellocet: Hearing this really upset me too. I adore Morrissey, though I worry about him. His constant touring and physically demanding shows have to take a toll on his 50-year-old body, no matter how energetic and youthful he may appear.
    I hope he takes a well-deserved rest and gets well very soon. #getwellsoon

    "Just as he came to the end of the song his knees sagged and he slumped to the stage. Two band members rushed to his side and dragged off stage, he was immediately followed by his backing band and singers and the stage lights went up, to cat calls and whistles from the audience."

    And then, when a stage hand came onstage to tell the crowd the show was off, and they could get refunds:
    "He was met with boos and more catcalls from some sections of the audience."

    Man, Swindon crowds are tough. #getwellsoon

    @heykoukla: I don't think they should have booed, let me say that first! But from what I understand many/most of the people at this show had already had a show canceled by Morrissey (this was the "raincheck") and so there was considerable upset in the crowd that it was happening again.

    I understand that he wants some privacy about whatever is wrong, but he's been cancelling a LOT of shows over the last year or so. People would likely be more understanding if he let them know what was wrong (OR stop scheduling more shows when you are only going to have to cancel). #getwellsoon
