Morrissey cancels Valencia concert after being left in ‘catatonic state’ by city noise

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Morrissey cancelled his Valencia concert, scheduled at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, citing extreme noise from the Las Fallas festival that left him in a "catatonic state" and unable to perform. He arrived in Valencia sleep-deprived after a two-day road trip and claimed the hotel was an "indescribable hell." This cancellation adds to Morrissey's history of missed performances, with over 400 cancelled shows throughout his career, including previous incidents in Spain and elsewhere due to various reasons such as technical difficulties, offensive audience members, and disagreements over meat being served at a venue. Despite these cancellations, Morrissey retains a large international fanbase and is currently promoting his new album. He is still scheduled to perform in Zaragoza and Seville.
