The show must go on – except when there are lives at stake.
British rocker Morrissey has cancelled two shows in the US, after it surfaces that a ‘credible threat’ to assassinate him onstage was made.
This comes after a Canadian man was charged over an online death threat against the outspoken rocker’s Sept. 12 festival set.
New York Post reported:
“The canceled concerts were set for Friday at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., and Saturday at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway. Both venues said refunds would be issued.
‘In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life’, read a notice on the star’s official social media pages on Friday. ‘Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band’, the two dates were pulled.”
“’All tickets will be refunded automatically at your original point of purchase’, the post read. Morrisey, whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, thanked his fans for understanding.”
26-year-old Noah Castellano posted a threat on leftist platform Bluesky on Sept. 4, before Morrissey’s CityFolk appearance in Ottawa.
“Police arrested Castellano on Sept. 12 and charged him with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. He was released on $5,000 bail.”
The shows were cancelled after Charlie Kirk’ assassination on Sept. 10, putting security at live events under scrutiny.
“The former Smiths frontman, 66, is a controversial figure in the UK, where he has made statements that have been denounced as racist and misogynistic.”
Watch: Morrissey sings ‘You have killed me’.
L’omicidio di Charlie Kirk ricorda l’omicidio di Pasolini cantato nella straordinaria “You have killed” di Morrissey, gay di destra
Pasolini sono io
Tu mi hai ucciso
Anna Magnani non sarai mai
Mentre vivo e respiro
Mi hai ucciso
Ma ti perdono, ti perdono
Ti perdono sempre pic.twitter.com/iQ2WdaOgn1— Chance Giardiniere (@ChanceGardiner) September 14, 2025
