Morrissey cancels shows in U.S. after receiving 'credible' assassination threat, venue says
Quote:
British rockstar Morrissey has canceled upcoming concerts in Massachusetts and Connecticut after reported threats against his life.
Morrissey, the former frontman of The Smiths, said in a post on Instagram on Friday that he cancelled shows at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Friday night and at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston on Saturday.
"Due to recent events and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band, the upcoming shows this weekend at Foxwoods and MGM Music Hall have been cancelled. All tickets will be refunded automatically at your original point of purchase," the post read.
An Instagram post by MGM Music Hall went further, saying the show was cancelled after a "credible threat on Morrissey's life" was made.
The cancellation of the shows comes days after Morrissey reportedly received death threats ahead of a show in Canada, prompting the reported arrest of a 26-year-old man.
