Morrissey's US Shows Called Off Due to Safety Concerns

USA, MashantucketSat Sep 20 2025
Morrissey, the well-known singer, has decided to cancel two of his upcoming shows in the US. This decision comes after a serious threat was made against him. The shows were supposed to take place in Connecticut and Boston. The first cancellation was announced on Friday evening. The reason given was a credible threat to Morrissey's life. The organizers said they wanted to be extra careful to keep both the artist and the audience safe. The next day, another announcement was made. It said both shows were off due to recent events and safety concerns. Morrissey is currently on a world tour. He was scheduled to perform in Philadelphia and then head to Mexico. Earlier this week, a man in Canada was arrested for threatening to harm Morrissey during his show in Ottawa. The man allegedly posted a threat on a social media platform. He said he planned to shoot Morrissey during the concert. Despite this, the Ottawa show went on as planned. The recent cancellation comes after a high-profile shooting in Utah. A conservative activist was killed during a speaking event. Morrissey recently announced he is selling his business interests in The Smiths. This is a big change for the singer, who has been involved with the band for a long time. Fans are left wondering what this means for his future performances.
