Morrissey has cancelled two concerts in Mexico due to “extreme exhaustion”.
The former Smiths frontman had been due to perform in Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City on Friday (31.10.25) night and at Auditorio Telmex in Zapopan on Tuesday (04.11.25) but the shows have been pulled at the last minute.
Promoters OCESA shared a statement on Friday which read: “We are informing the public in Mexico City and Guadalajara that, due to the artist’s extreme exhaustion, Morrissey’s concerts scheduled for October 31st at the Palacio de los Deportes and November 4th at the Auditorio Telmex have been cancelled.”
The announcement explained that those who purchased tickets online would automatically be refunded, but those who bought via Ticketmaster or the box office can request their money back from 7 November at the point of purchase.
Following the promoter’s cancellation announcement, Morrissey’s official website posted a video on Saturday (01.11.25) for his song I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday, with the postcaptioned by several Mexican flag emojis and the title of the 1992 track.
This isn’t the first cancellation Morrissey has had on the tour.
Last month, he cancelled his upcoming shows in Turkey, due to a backlash against his support for Israel. The concerts, which were due to take place in December, had tickets removed from sale after footage from a 2012 show went viral, in which he was seen draped in an Israeli flag while performing in Tel Aviv.
And in September, the How Soon Is Now? hitmaker cancelled gigs in Connecticut and Boston following a “credible threat” to assassinate him on stage.
A message posted on Morrissey’s official Facebook account at the time read: “In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and audience, tonight’s engagement at Foxwoods has been cancelled. We appreciate your understanding.”
A later message added: “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. We appreciate your understanding.”
Morrissey also axed a Stockholm, Sweden gig during the summer, claiming he had “zero music industry support”.
He posted on the Morrissey Central website: “The pain at not reaching Stockholm this week is horrific for the band and crew. I know it’s impossible for people to understand, but we dream of Stockholm, Reykjavik, Trondheim, Helsinki, Aarhus … but there is no financial support from imaginary record labels to get us to such places.
“In the last seven days we have travelled into six countries, and we are travel-weary beyond belief. We can barely see.
“We pray to God that someone, somewhere can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark … where we have thousands upon thousands of friends, yet absolutely zero music industry support.
“No label will release our music, no radio will play our music … and yet our ticket sales are sensational. What does this tell us about the state of Art in 2025?”
And in May, shows in California were pulled after the 66-year old star was hospitalised due to a “severe sinusitis attack”.
