The cancellations came just hours before the performances. His team said there was a “credible threat on his life,” which quickly sparked a lot of conversation about artist safety and tour security.

Morrissey Cancels Connecticut and Boston Shows
The 66-year-old former frontman of The Smiths planned to perform in Ledyard, Connecticut, on Friday. He also had a show scheduled for the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston the next night.
His official Facebook page posted a statement, citing “an abundance of caution.” Morrissey’s team wanted to protect both the performer and the audience, so they decided to cancel.
“Recent Events” Prompt Safety Concerns
In a follow-up message, Morrissey’s team confirmed both concerts were cancelled due to “recent events.” They mentioned ongoing safety concerns for the singer and his band.
Fans from Hartford to New Haven had questions, especially those who were traveling from across the region for the sold-out Foxwoods show. It’s not every day something like this happens, and people are still talking about it.
