British rockstar Morrissey has canceled upcoming concerts in Massachusetts and Connecticut after reported threats against his life.
Morrissey, the former frontman of The Smiths, said in a post on Instagram on Friday that he cancelled shows at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Friday night and at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston on Saturday.
"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," the post read.
An Instagram post by MGM Music Hall went further, saying the show was cancelled after a "credible threat on Morrissey's life" was made.
The cancellation of the shows comes days after Morrissey reportedly received death threats ahead of a show in Canada, prompting the reported arrest of a 26-year-old man.
The cancellations also come amid a backdrop of political violence in the U.S.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, was assassinated this month while speaking at an event at a college campus in Utah. Kirk's assassination came months after the assassination of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home and UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City.
Morrissey is on a world tour with stops scheduled in cities across the United States and Mexico.

Who?!
The author is quite careful not to mention any possible motive. I wonder why?
“You shut yer mouth. How can you say, I go about things the wrong way. I am human and I need to be loved. Just like everybody else does.”
Morrissey came up with the excellent phrase: “Their so-called diversity is actually conformity.”
Morrissey’s political evolution is a bit like Christopher Hitchen’s - an old-school labour leftist, who woke up to the coalition of WEF, muslims and woke capitalists to permanently erase British culture and national identity.

Morrissey is very conservative.
What were the threats for. Something he said, did what?
These days he’s mostly known for canceling shows. Usually before hand, sometimes 20 minutes into the show. He’s gotten really good at disappointing fans.
He doesn’t toe the line with all the left’s insanity, so they have been trying to cancel him for some time now.

There are good reasons to read the article before posting.

Looks like they treated that seriously (sarcasm)
I wouldn’t call him conservative at all. He is anti illegals and in Britian that makes him far right.
Over here, he would still be left of center on most issues.
Well, he voted for Brexit, votes conservative on other issues and is a UKIP supporter, so I think it’s fair to characterize him as a conservative.
This guy was popular way back in the 80's. Can't say I could name one song of his, though.
He is still pretty left wing on other stuff. Like I said, he is far right by British and the left’s standards here now.
