Morrissey Cancels Two U.S. Concerts After Credible Death Threat and Arrest

Morrissey has canceled two upcoming U.S. concerts at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut and MGM Music Hall in Boston after receiving a credible death threat. The threat was posted on Bluesky by an Ottawa man, Noah Castellano, who was arrested and charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm but released on bail. The threat specifically mentioned targeting Morrissey during his September 12 performance at Ottawa's CityFolk Festival, which Morrissey completed without incident. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of Morrissey, his band, and audiences, the shows scheduled for September 19 and 20 were canceled with automatic refunds issued to ticket holders. Morrissey's management emphasized the cancellations were due to recent events and the credible nature of the threat. Despite the cancellation of these shows, Morrissey continues his North American tour following the incident.
