After suffering from “extreme exhaustion,” music legend Morrissey was forced to cancel two concert performances just weeks after The Smiths’ frontman was threatened with death.
Morrissey has had to cancel two concert performances after suffering from ‘extreme exhaustion’. The music legend, 66, was scheduled to play at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City on October 31 before taking to the stage at the Auditorio Telmex in Guadalajara but both dates have now been pulled.
In a statement posted to Instagram, concert promoter OSECA said: “We are informing the public in Mexico City and Guadalajara that, due to the artist’s extreme exhaustion, Morrissey’s concerts scheduled for October 31st at the Palacio de los Deportes and November 4th at the Auditorio Telmex have been cancelled.”
The promoter then reassured fans that they will be able to receive a full refund, as the statement continued: “If you made your purchase online, the refund will be automatically credited to the card you used to purchase your tickets, according to the processing times established by your bank.

You can request a refund starting November 7th at the same location where you made the purchase if it was made using Ticketmaster points or the box office.
The former Smiths frontman has also been forced to reschedule performances in recent years. The singer was scheduled to perform in Connecticut and Massachusetts in September, but he was forced to resign due to a “credible threat on his life” situation.
There was a real threat to Morrissey’s life in recent days, the statement read. Tonight’s Foxwoods engagement has been canceled out of a lot of caution for the safety of both the artist and the audience. Thank you for your understanding.
The singer’s official Facebook page published a follow-up statement that read, “The upcoming shows this weekend at Foxwoods and MGM Music Hall have been cancelled due to recent events and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and the band.” At the time of purchase, all tickets will be refunded in its entirety. Thank you for your understanding.
Fans flooded the comment section with support and expressed their sadness over the cancellation. One wrote: “Sad the show is cancelled. Sad this is happening to Moz. Sad at the state of the world.”
I’m so happy I saw him last fall. It was a fantastic show. My man should be left alone. Who would want to cause such harm to Moz’s man? Another plus, “as gentle as they come” is “another.” Sorry to hear that. Glad I saw him at Radio City Hall on September 16, 25, and he gave a fantastic performance. Safety is crucial.
The singer’s arrest and charge of making threats toward her on the social media app Blue Sky came after a 26-year-old man from Ottawa was detained and charged with doing so.
Morrissey continued to perform at Ottawa’s CityFolk festival despite the threat. The accused man has posted bail and is currently being held under strict house rules in Washington, DC. Morrissey’s response to the cancellation was a precautionary measure, but it’s not clear whether it was one of additional threats.
