Morrissey cancels shows in Connecticut and Massachusetts

  • Morrissey has cancelled two upcoming concerts in the US, specifically in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachusetts.
  • The cancellations were due to a “credible threat on his life”, as stated on his official Instagram, citing an abundance of caution for the safety of the artist and audience.
  • This follows an incident earlier in the week when a 26-year-old man was released on bail in Ottawa, Canada, after allegedly threatening to shoot Morrissey at a show there, which ultimately went ahead.
  • Morrissey is currently in the midst of a world tour, with scheduled dates across the US, Mexico, and South America until the end of October.
  • Separately, Morrissey recently announced he is putting all his business interests in The Smiths up for sale, including the band's name, artwork, and various rights, stating he is “burnt out” by connections with former bandmates.
