Morrissey Cancels Two U.S. Shows Over ‘Credible Threat’ to His Life

The cancellations follow a recent Bluesky death threat that led to charges in Ottawa.

Overview

  • Shows scheduled for Sept. 19 at Foxwoods in Connecticut and Sept. 20 at Boston’s MGM Music Hall were called off after statements citing a credible threat to the singer’s life.
  • Morrissey’s team and the venues said all tickets will be refunded automatically at the original point of purchase.
  • Ottawa authorities charged 26-year-old Noah Castellano over a Sept. 4 Bluesky post that threatened to shoot Morrissey, and he was released on $5,000 bail with an order to reside at his father’s home near Washington, D.C.
  • Morrissey performed in Ottawa on Sept. 12 without incident and played New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Sept. 16, with the tour next scheduled to reach Philadelphia on Sept. 23.
  • News outlets report it remains unclear whether the U.S. cancellations are directly connected to the Ottawa case, with investigations and security reviews ongoing.
