Assassination threat or were the tickets not selling?

Political violence.
Well, his political orientation is not standard.
But his most controversial stance, is since the 80's he has been bemoaning immigrants changing the ways of the who nation of Israel. Way before Tories, or U.S. Republicans were taking it seriously.
Morrissey is anti-immigrant and backs a white nationalist political party. Why don’t fans care?

Morrissey Sues “NME” For Not Saying “Sorry” Over Printing Alleged Anti-Immigration Rant
Thank you. It appears “political violence” is newspeak for Deranged Leftist Lunatic violence.
Yeah, dude’s all over the map. He’s a white nationalist, anti-muslim, anti-jewish homosexual vegan.

I don’t remember anti-Jewish, but maybe. I’m not sure homosexual is the right word either. He liked boxing, and has never owned a cell phone.
Who?...Lord I’m getting old.
Pansexual might be a better term. And with the cell phone thing, “Luddite” might work too.

Within the past 3-4 years, Morrissey has been on the record as being anti-trans, men in women’s sports, etc. He sounded totally lucid to me, and is right to be concerned.
Not to mention:
SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 : (REPORT : NEW HAMPSHIRE MAN TRISTAN ANDERSON PLOTTED TO ASSASSINATE NEW HAMPSHIRE GOVERNOR KELLY AYOTE )
A ponytailed New Hampshire man has been arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate the state’s Republican governor with a ‘weapon of mass destruction.’
Tristan Anderson, 22, is accused of threatening to kill Governor Kelly Ayotte with homemade pipe bombs.
According to investigators, Anderson made the chilling threats to his roommate on Snapchat, bragging about his plans and showing off the materials he intended to use.
An arrest warrant shows Anderson also ranted about the ‘Israel Deep State’ in a string of anti-Semitic messages before turning his anger toward Ayotte, who is Catholic.—— ‘Israel-hating’ man, 22, sports ponytail as plot to ‘assassinate’ Republican governor is revealed, UK Daily Mail, 09/18/2025 | Will Potter
Say what you want about the way Bob Dylan sings, but Morrissey is the gold standard of bad singers.
Aw shucks, not what’s his name?
Lol
WHO???
“...Morrissey is the gold standard of bad singers...”
I’ve never considered Morrissey a “singer”. I’ve always considered more of a moaner rather than a singer. He moans and groans the same four or five notes in nearly every song he sings. If I were to compare him to *anything*, it would be what a drunken friend of mine once said, upon hearing Morrissey for the first time: “If Wesley Willis had been sane, British, and could occasionally in tune, he would have sounded like Morrissey.”
(and this is from someone who actually owns several Smiths albums, as well as Morrissey’s first solo album). :P
So, England does not have political violence? I guess not having free speech helps.
Although the latest cancellations were due to security issues, Morrissey’s career has long been filled by instances of falling-out over accusations of racism.
His problems began with a 2007 interview with NME in which he voiced fears about immigration in Britain, and critics accused him of being xenophobic.
Morrissey sued the magazine for libel, claiming his words had been deliberately misinterpreted and, in 2012, NME issued a public apology making clear that it did not consider the singer to be racist
Should be good enough for the Woke left, yes?
Let’s see what the folks on bluesky are sayin...

a threat was posted to Bluesky on September 4, from an account named “guy who gets shot in the head one hundred thousand times a day,” per Ottawa Citizen.
It reads: “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.”
A 26-year-old man named Noah Castellano was arrested for the incident and later released on $5,000 CAD (£2,691) bail
