Morrissey Cancels Connecticut Boston Shows After Credible Death Threat

English singer-songwriter Morrissey, the 66-year-old former lead singer of The Smiths, has canceled two US shows scheduled in Connecticut and Boston due to a credible threat against his life. The cancellations followed the arrest of 26-year-old Canadian Noah Castellano, who allegedly posted a deadly threat on the Bluesky social media platform, stating his intent to shoot Morrissey during a scheduled performance in Ottawa. Although Morrissey's Ottawa show went ahead without incident, the threat prompted the cancellation of the subsequent East Coast concerts out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the artist and his band. Castellano was charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and was released on $5,000 bail but has not commented on the charges. Fans have expressed support and understanding regarding the cancellations, lamenting the situation while prioritizing Morrissey's safety. Morrissey's management assured that all tickets for the canceled shows would be refunded automatically.
