Morrissey Cancels Two U.S. Shows, Citing 'Credible Threat' to His Life

Venues cite safety concerns following a Bluesky death‑threat case under police investigation.

Overview

  • The Sept. 19 Foxwoods show in Connecticut and Sept. 20 MGM Music Hall date in Boston were called off after official posts referenced a credible threat.
  • Statements from Morrissey’s accounts and the Boston venue said all tickets will be refunded automatically at the point of purchase.
  • Ottawa police charged 26-year-old Noah Castellano over a Sept. 4 Bluesky post allegedly threatening to kill the singer at his Sept. 12 CityFolk performance.
  • Morrissey performed in Ottawa without incident; Castellano was arrested and later released on $5,000 bail, with reporting that he is staying at his father’s Washington, D.C.–area home.
  • Outlets note no confirmed link between the U.S. cancellations and the Ottawa case, and the tour is scheduled to resume Sept. 23 in Philadelphia.
