Morrissey Cancels Mexico City and Zapopan Shows Over ‘Extreme Exhaustion’

Uncertainty grows over the remaining South American dates as the singer offers no substantive explanation.

Overview

  • Promoter OCESA announced via Instagram that concerts set for October 31 at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes and November 4 at Zapopan’s Auditorio Telmex were canceled due to the artist’s extreme exhaustion.
  • OCESA said online ticket purchases will be refunded automatically, while Ticketmaster and box office buyers can request refunds starting November 7 at the original point of purchase.
  • Morrissey has not issued a detailed statement and instead shared a link to his 1992 single on his website accompanied by Mexican emojis.
  • He is still listed for upcoming dates in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia in the next three weeks, with no update on whether those shows will proceed.
  • The Mexico cancellations add to a year of disrupted dates that included U.S. shows called off after a hospitalisation in April, a June Stockholm cancellation citing travel fatigue, two U.S. gigs scrapped in September after a credible threat, and Turkey dates last month that outlets reported as possibly linked to backlash over his support for Israel.
