In January, the musician — who released his latest studio album Make-Up Is a Lie on March 6 — canceled his first scheduled concert of 2026 in Rancho Mirage, Calif. due to a medical issue. At the time, a statement shared on Morrissey’s website said the show would be postponed due to “an adverse reaction to a prescription medication.”

In March, the singer announced that he was not appearing onstage for a show in Valencia, Spain, the day it was scheduled due to his hotel being an “indescribable hell” that left him “unable to rest.”

In another message, Morrissey attributed his lack of sleep to festival noise, loud techno singing and megaphone announcements. “The experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state,” the statement read. Last November, the “This Charming Man” crooner also canceled a number of tour dates — including five shows in South America — citing “extreme exhaustion,” per New Noise Magazine. Months earlier, he canceled two shows — one in Connecticut and one in Boston — following a “credible threat” to assassinate him during a performance in Ottawa, Canada.
