New Order drummer Stephen Morris says he is dealing with a “pretty serious illness” and does not know whether he will be able to tour again. He says his condition means he cannot leave the country for any lengthy period, affecting plans for performances.
Morris also indicates that his situation may not improve, saying “things won’t get better.” The accounts focus on the impact of his health on touring rather than specifying the medical condition itself. Both outlets frame the remarks as a personal update from Morris about his capacity to travel and perform, with no additional confirmation of dates or alternative arrangements.
While the reporting differs only in how much background it provides, both sources describe the same core message: Morris is currently unable to commit to extended travel due to illness and is uncertain about future touring activity.
