Morrissey’s touring over the previous decade-plus has been marked by a gradual accumulation of live performance cancelations and postponements — to the purpose that it’s virtually anticipated anytime he declares a brand new leg of reveals. However is that actually a good criticism?
In mild of his most up-to-date string of concert cancelations, which he attributed to “an hostile response to a prescription remedy,” we took a deep dive into Moz’s touring historical past. In response to publicly obtainable information from the Morrissey fan website Morrissey-Solo, the singer has toured yearly since 2012, asserting a complete of 639 concert events. Of these, he has performed 449 reveals, with 111 canceled and 100 postponed dates — a 70% completion fee. His most difficult years got here in 2013 (when he performed simply 16 of 64 reveals), 2016 (29 of 46), and 2025 (36 of 68).
Morrissey’s cancelations and postponements have been blamed on a spread of things, together with sickness, exhaustion, and logistical issues. He as soon as was even sidelined on account of “toxic food poisoning” after consuming a bowl of “penne pasta and tomato.”
