This comes after Morrissey’s Dallas concert ended in chaos on November 2nd when an unexpected rush of fans forced the singer to cancel his show abruptly.
The incident transpired at Fair Park Music Hall, where Morrissey was performing “First of the Gang to Die” as an encore to an enthusiastic crowd when a single fan managed to get onstage to embrace him. While the singer initially appeared unfazed, security stepped in to guide the fan away.
Things soon went out of control as other audience members began following suit and rushed the stage. As additional concertgoers attempted to join the impromptu meet-and-greet, security struggled to contain the crowd.
According to footage obtained by TMZ, at least one guard appeared to lose balance amidst the scuffle, reportedly injuring their leg in the commotion. Morrissey was quickly whisked offstage by his team, leaving the audience without further explanation. He’s yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
It’s far from the first time Morrissey has walked off stage mid-performance. His career is marred with similar incidents, often for reasons ranging from vocal issues to environmental concerns and confrontations with fans.
In 2009, Morrissey famously left the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California due to the smell of burning meat from nearby food vendors. Disturbed by what he perceived as the scent of “burning flesh,” he commented, “I can smell burning flesh, and I hope to God it’s human,” before ending his set abruptly.
