This is the sort of situation where you feel there’s something that’s not been released to the public yet.

We do know that Morrissey has cancelled upcoming shows in Connecticut and Boston after a ‘credible’ threat on his life.

We also know that a man was arrested and bailed in Ottawa after threatening to shoot the singer at the CityFolk music festival.

A poster known as “guy who gets shot in the head one hundred thousand times a day” posted the following on Blyesky: “Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.” Police found him and nabbed him. However, Moz’s appearance at the festival went ahead.

It’s unclear why he’s cancelling these other gigs, perhaps because the defendant is on bail and could go ahead and find him, or maybe there’s more than one of them. This might not even be the right death threat.
