Morrissey’s arrival in Mexico City has resulted in a dengue infection. The virus will take 2-3 weeks to clear.

After nearly two decades of banning Canada, Morrissey announced in September 2018 that he would return to the country: "My decision to return to Canada after almost 15 years of protest against its savage and Neanderthal annual Baby Seal Kill is entirely because my stance was ultimately of no use and helped no one. My voice was drowned out by the merciless swing of spiked axes crushing the heads of babies. On my return to Canada I feel that I can be of more use by making sizeable donations to animal protection groups in each city that I play."
04/13/2019: Thanks to several fans who reported that Morrissey officially cancelled some Canadian dates. Rob sent in: "Due to a medical emergency stemming from an accident incurred while traveling in Europe, Morrissey will be forced to postpone his performances in Vancouver to October 14th and 15th, 2019. Spirits are high and the artist is on the path to a swift recovery. All tickets will be valid for the new date and exchanges will not be necessary. Thank you for your understanding. Morrissey looks forward to making his long-awaited return to the city and wishes to deeply thank everyone for their patience. All remaining dates on Morrissey’s tour will resume as planned, commencing in Toronto on Friday Apr 26."

After police pulled a gun on Morrissey, his nephew said that Morrissey decided to cancel seven proposed Italian dates - including the announced Macerata Opera Festival. Read all about it on rollingstone.com. Incidentally, Italian police disagreed. Since the other six dates were never announced, we can't add the dates and locations to the 2017 listing.
- 10 Apr 2017 Tucson, AZ - Fox Tucson Theatre (walked off after six songs due to vocal issues)

- 07 Dec 2017 Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre (cancelled, announced 12/06 at 5pm)
- 10 Dec 2017 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2017 (It's suggested by KROQ staff that they knew about the cancellation since Thursday, they officially announced the cancellation on Saturday at 8pm. To be fair, KROQ was hoping that conditions would improve, but it did not. The Killers will now headline, with Sad Girl added to the lineup.)
- 16 Dec 2017 CBS This Morning - Saturday Sessions (Although there is a 25% chance that Morrissey will cancel his Saturday Sessions, I don't think he will. The show is pre-recorded and only requires one or two songs. Based on Anthony Mason's Morrissey confirmation and Morrissey's recent feisty Der Spiegel comment, it sounded like he's feeling much better. But who knows. We'll find out this Saturday. Update 12/14/2017: It's possible that Morrissey will not appear live at all, but that CBS will use pre-recorded live concert footage. Update 12/17/2017: Confirmed, Morrissey did not show up. Instead, CBS used footage from Morrissey's appearance at The Anthem in Washington DC from Nov 30, before he fell ill.)

Some details on nbcnews.com, but the official cancellation statement reads: "The remaining dates of the Morrissey U.S. North American tour have officially been pulled down due to medical reasons. The singer has suffered a series of medical mishaps over the past few months including a bleeding ulcer, Barrett’s esophagus and double pneumonia.
Despite his best efforts to try to continue touring, Morrissey has to take a hiatus and will not be able to continue on the rest of the tour. Morrissey thanks all of his fans for their well wishes and thoughts. Refunds for the remaining shows are available at point of purchase."

lack of funding: Morrissey explains, in his own words, "I am informed today that the projected tour of South America is snuffed out, thus euthanized - due, I'm reliably advised, to lack of funding. It's quite easy to sell tickets, yet impossible to transport band and crew from F to G. In a year when far too many disappointments have been buried this really is the last of many final straws, and I am not alone in feeling this. The future is suddenly absent, and my apologies are now so frequent as to be somewhat ridiculous, and it is I who apologize because no one else would bother. It is agonizing to be responsible for imparting such news - especially when it springs upon me unexpectedly and inexplicably. But the collapse of South America rings the curtain down with a colossal thud, and the major problems remain as insoluble now as they were in 2009. The obvious conclusion stares back at me from the mirror, and the wheels are finally off the covered wagon. Cancellations and illness have sucked the life out of all of us, and the only sensible solution seems to be the art of doing nothing.
As always I ask your pardon, and I offer pangs of overwhelming love and gratitude to the band and the crew, whose loyalty stretched above and beyond."

Morrissey's mother was hospitalized. Can't really blame Morrissey's humanity for suddenly stopping his tour to fly back to England to see his mother in the hospital. Originally it was only going to be a few days before he resume his tour... but unfortunately the remainder of the 2012 dates were all postponed until 2013. Those 2013 announced were also cancelled due to "a series of medical mishaps", but you can read all about that in the 2013 entries. - 23 Oct 2012 Pittsburgh, PA - Heinz Hall

Morrissey lost his voice starting in Boston: After 7 songs, Morrissey left the stage and never came back. According to fans at the show, he said something about his voice cracking: "I know that if I crack, either emotionally or vocally, I'll be forgiven." Additional details at morrissey-solo.com.
Update 05/08/2019: According to Krislucius, "He came back a few months later and played the same venue and my ticket was honored."
As a result of losing his voice in Boston, the next few weeks (up to July 6) were all cancelled.

Nokia Isle of Wight Music Festival - Newport, England
From nme.com: A statement reads: “Morrissey will regrettably not be appearing at the Isle Of Wight Festival on the 11th of June as scheduled. The pressure of preparing the new album and losing his drummer earlier this month has made it impossible to do the gig without massively compromising both the gig and the album. Apologies to all the fans, the organisers and the people of the Isle Of Wight.”

Not Morrissey's fault, but he, along with Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, the Flaming Lips, were supposed to headline Lollapalooza 2004... but the whole tour was cancelled because of poor ticket sales. Read all about it on MTV.com.

- 17 Feb 2000 Pittsburgh, PA - A.J. Palumbo Center (Morrissey cancelled Pittsburgh due to "a migraine and back spasms" They said he would reschedule. via murray)
From Passions Just Like Mine:
Postponed and never rescheduled.
Morrissey may have been referring to this concert when he told the Pittsbugh Post-Gazette in 2013: "I arrived for the soundcheck and I was told that the night had to be 'pulled' because the stage wasn't safe. There were a lot of people queuing in the rain, and backstage was abysmal -- I don't think there was even a toilet. When you're faced with such situations you feel so much anger with local promoters because they charge such high ticket prices yet they have no concern for either the comfort of the artist or the safety of the audience ... they think the night will just roll along on enthusiasm, which is wrong."

This was the first solo Morrissey tour since his eighty-hate date. According to Passions Just Like Mine, there were an additional 11 shows cancelled at the end of the second leg of the North American tour, due to exhaustion. "Dates scheduled in Worcester, Albany, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Williamsburg, Chapel Hill, Birmingham, New Orleans, Lakeland and Miami at the tail end of the tour were cancelled. After over 6 months of touring everywhere and doing television, radio and magazine interviews almost constantly, exhaustion must have had the better of Morrissey. It was time to kill "Kill Uncle" and move on to the next album."

Morrissey's first post-Smiths show at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on 22 Dec 1988 was a hit! No cancellations, but of course, there was one date only.
You don't have it here, but I was at the following show and he cut it short after about 6 songs. The announcement said that "security is keeping the fans too far from Morrissey and he's too distraught to continue." Ugh. No refund, of course.

Regarding Cincinnati 1991, according to Passions Just Like Mine, it appears Morrissey played a 15-song set but did not return for an encore. I'll try and see if there are other reports of a shorten set... Let me know [email protected]

Thank you for this list, I was supposed to go to the Washington DC show tonight at the Anthem and I'm just doom scrolling now and mourning his cancellation. Regarding the 2012/2013 cancelled dates--I did in fact see him in 2013! I believe it was in early January and it was in Maryland at the Strathmore Arts Center, rescheduled from the original 12/7/12. Unbelievable show, unbelievable voice, I'll always love Moz.
Posted by: PC | 11/28/2022 at 09:10 PM
Agree with previous comment, I was at the Cincinnati show in 1991. He said he was unhappy with security and walked off stage mid show. No warning, apologies or refunds
Posted by: Tink | 06/23/2023 at 04:58 PM
Yep Bigmouth strikes out again. Perth, Australia gig cancelled on the day of the concert.
Logistical problems. Apparently we will be refunded.
I wont be wasting any more time or money on Morrissey.
BTW. Saw Johnny Marr in Fremantle a couple of years back. He never had a voice, but was great and turned up.
Don't bother coming back to Australia. I doubt any promoter would touch you..

Quick correction for 2014: The Boston show did occur:

This is a fascinating walk down memory lane.

Thank you, I have removed Boston 2014 from the listing. It's weird that all the dates in June 2014 were cancelled... except for Boston.

You missed the 1991 sydney show cancelled at the horden pavilion.

Just cancelled Auckland New Zealand. I had no idea he did this all the time. What is it? Can he just not be bothered?

Someone needs to do this for Peter Murphy who must be in contention for most cancelled shows too!
