Overview

• The Foxwoods (Mashantucket, Conn.) show on Sept. 19 and the MGM Music Hall at Fenway (Boston) show on Sept. 20 were called off at short notice, with automatic refunds promised by the venues.
• Initial posts referenced a “credible threat on Morrissey’s life,” while later messages cited “recent events” and an “abundance of caution” without further detail.
• Ottawa Police arrested 26-year-old Noah Castellano over a Sept. 4 Bluesky post threatening to kill Morrissey, and he was released on $5,000 bail with a requirement to live at his father’s Washington, D.C.-area home.
• Morrissey performed in Ottawa on Sept. 12 without incident and has additional U.S. tour dates scheduled, including Philadelphia next week, before a Mexico and Latin America leg.
• Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and it remains unclear whether the New England cancellations are directly tied to the Ottawa case or to other unspecified concerns.
