Morrissey recently called off two shows in the US over a “credible threat on his life” as revealed on his social media page.
The former Smiths singer was due to appear at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, on Friday night, and at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
However, a statement posted on his Facebook account on Friday evening said: “In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and audience, tonight’s engagement at Foxwoods has been cancelled. We appreciate your understanding.”
A second post said both the shows had been cancelled due to “recent events and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band”.
The British singer Morrissey is currently on a world tour and is scheduled to perform in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday. He has several performances lined up across the United States before heading to Mexico for a show on October 31st.
Earlier this week, a 26-year-old man from Ottawa, Canada, was released on bail after allegedly threatening to kill Morrissey during his concert in the city. The man reportedly issued this threat against Morrissey on Bluesky on September 4, according to court documents cited by the Ottawa Citizen.
According to the news outlet, a post on the social media platform read: “Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.”
The show in Ottawa went ahead as planned.
