Crazed fans (OK, Gen X moms) stormed the stage when Morrissey played the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

The perpetually petulant former singer of the Smiths, 63, stomped offstage in Los Angeles last week after just 30 minutes — sources said he was “too cold” — then canceled a string of subsequent gigs due to illness. So fans were on pins and needles as to whether he’d deign to grace NYC.

But Morrissey brought the house down in dramatic fashion in Flatbush with a full-bodied, purple-prosed show, including downer quips like, “If I hit any bum notes, feel free to kick me to death.”

Maybe The Ghost of Troubled Joe showed up. For some, there is light that never goes out.

I saw the Smiths in Toronto in about 1984

Referring to a bunch of girls at the edge of the stage - he dedicated a song to “all those chubby little sausages in the front row”

Couldn’t possibly name a single song the so-called ‘rock star’ Morrisey has ever done.

The Smiths and MOrrisey are an acquired taste. I don’t really care for his music.

He single-handedly gave birth to the Moaning Homo music genre.

The Queen is dead. Must be interesting times in concert for Morrissey.

Perpetually petulant describes sissy boy Morrissey to a tee.

His music is great however. One cannot deny that.

Weak and lacks of imagination.
Loud isn’t my thing either.

He would have died many years ago.
