We wanted to share this with fans of School of Seven Bells, and we hope that Benjamin recovers to continue making the music we love.

Staples Center Goes Vegetarian For Morrissey

Meat-lovers who are attending next month's Morrissey show at the Staples Center will have to adjust their diet if they're planning to eat at the venue. For the first time ever, all of the vendors at the Staples Center will be 100% vegetarian when longtime animal activist Morrissey performs on Friday, March 1. Recovering from a bleeding ulcer and Barrett's esophagus, Morrissey has canceled several dates on this tour, but he plans to be fully recovered for the Los Angeles show. You can read his entertaining apology on True To You.

The upcoming Staples Center concert will also feature Patti Smith and opener Kristeen Young. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster for $29.00 to $129.50 each plus service fees, and a portion of ticket sales will benefit PETA. We wish Morrissey a full recovery, and hope he is well enough to perform at this upcoming concert. See you there, Scenestar readers!
