So very sad.

Stephen you have been the soundtrack of my life. Please get well.

[Vocal Minority]

Can't say I like him or the Smiths, but would never wish an illness on anyone. 55 is no age. Wish him a speedy recovery

[Soov535]

He doesn't half talk some b0llocks, but I have to say that he's been a mainstay in my life.

Feel very sad about this.

[longblackcoat]

Appropriately enough, I'm miserable now.

[RobinBanks]

I can't stand him, but it's a terrible thing to happen to anyone and as such I wish him a happy recovery.

[Spare tyre]

What a horrid thing cancer is

[GTIR]

Well I like his music and don't mind him.

As famous singers go he's not all bad. I have more poo to throw at people like Bono or any star that wears sunglasses indoors, apart from Slash.

[Eric Mc]

Not a massive fan but not good for him.

[Justin Cyder]

He polarises opinion like no other round here, but when it comes down to it, he has the soul of a poet & has written the greatest lyrics in British pop in a generation imo. I wish him well.

[Johnnytheboy]

I can't stand the guy but I wish him a speedy recovery.

according to this

he's had several "cancer-scrapings" whatever that means? Any medical people want to shed some light?

Only time I've ever heard that phrase was to remove pre-cancerous cells from the cervix.... I guess it works in other areas?

I wonder who else has cancer.

Might be for a melanoma primary tumor - but more normally a needle biopsy is utilized to make a diagnosis.

As you mature in life you appreciate just what an indiscriminate and vile disease cancer is. No one deserves it and I wish Morrissey well.

Anyone else promoting a book?

Pretentious tw@t.

Yes, he was an equal partner in one of the most influential bands of a generation. And you are?

Not quite old enough to be influenced by him, hence my reconsideration and subsequent delete.

Don't be hard on him. A lot of kids wanted to be in his gang back in the 70s.

Great artist or not, he really does come across as a bit of an idiot some times. But I hope he gets well soon so I can splutter with rage at everything he says for many years to come.

A bit of a khunt, a bit of an iconic muso in his day.

No matter how much of a khunt, cancer probably isn't pleasant - so wishing he gets better soon so we can get back to abusing him for his daft opinions on Argentina and the Royals...
