Morrissey reveals he "almost died" earlier this year after suffering health problemsRocker Morrissey has admitted that he was close to death earlier this year after being forced to cancel a series of his tour dates due to ill health. In a new interview with Chilean newspaper La Tercera, the 'Meat Is Murder' hitmaker confessed that he was diagnosed with a throat condition called Barrett’s oesophagus on top of having a bleeding ulcer and double pneumonia and was shocked at the state he woke up in after collapsing one night in Ohio: "It was terrible. I had played in January in Ohio, and I was perfect, but the next night at the hotel I collapsed. I lost consciousness and when I recovered, I was covered in black blood and did not know what it was."
