Overview

  • Morrissey canceled the June 23 Stockholm show at Hovet Arena, citing exhaustion among his band and crew and a lack of financial backing from record labels.
  • On his Morrissey Central website, he contrasted strong ticket sales with “zero music industry support” and said no label or radio station will release or play his music.
  • The cancellation deepens his dispute over the unreleased album Bonfire of Teenagers, which major labels shelved despite Morrissey’s claims that it is his best work.
  • Fans expressed frustration and skepticism on social media, criticizing the late cancellation and questioning the scheduling of dates without secured funding.
  • His European tour will proceed in Germany and Eastern Europe before a North American leg begins in September.
