Morrissey's Liverpool concert, which was abandoned after only one-and-a-half songs after a fan hurled a bottle at the singer's head, will most likely to be rescheduled, promoters have said.

The incident at the Liverpool Echo Arena, which took place on Saturday (Nov. 7) led to the former Smiths frontman walking offstage and cancelling the show.

"Event organisers are working with the artistes representatives to explore all ways of restaging the abandoned concert," the promoters said in a statement. "Everyone involved in the show is deeply upset that the actions of one individual have spoiled the evening for the thousands of genuine fans and for Morrissey himself."

They also said fans who were unable to attend the rescheduled show could claim for a refund.

Morrissey's tour this year has been beset with troubles. A gig last month in Swindon was also cut short after the singer collapsed during the second song.

Dates had to be rescheduled earlier this year because the singer had been ill with a virus.
