Morrissey canceled two weekend shows in Connecticut and Massachusetts after receiving credible death threats, forcing the 66-year-old musician to prioritize safety.
Morrissey canceled two shows in the United States after receiving threats on his life.
The 66-year-old musician was scheduled to perform two shows on the East Coast over the weekend, but announced on Instagram he was forced to cancel due to a „credible threat.“ He was set to perform at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, on Friday night, and at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
„In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life“, the Instagram post read. „Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and audience, tonights engagement at Foxwoods has been cancelled. We appreciate your understanding.“
Shortly after announcing the show in Connecticut was canceled, a second post appeared confirming the show in Massachusetts was also canceled. The post promised that „all tickets will be refunded automatically.“
The former Smiths frontman, whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, is currently in the middle of a world tour.
