Because of tiredness and a lack of industry backing, British music legend Morrissey has suddenly withdrawn from his planned Stockholm gig. On Monday, June 23, the 66-year-old artist, who formerly led The Smiths before pursuing a solo career, was scheduled to play at Hovet Arena.

The Stockholm performance was canceled by Morrissey at the last minute. Why?

The performance was cancelled just a few hours before the crowd was scheduled to arrive, according to an unexpected announcement. In a statement posted on his official website, the singer spoke about the mental and physical stress that he and his staff are experiencing, as reported by ARY News.

"We are unbelievably travel-weary," he confessed. "We have visited six countries in one week, and no record company is supporting us in our journey."

The cancellation was officially announced to the public with a message that read, "The Morrissey headline engagement at Hovet has been cancelled due to exhaustion among the band and crew. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase."

The cancellation only increases the number of last-minute show cancellations that have plagued Morrissey's recent tours. Despite strong ticket sales and a devoted fan base, these unexpected shifts have resulted in more anger and criticism.

"Don't reserve the tour then," an enraged follower posted on X. "He doesn't even bother to offer a decent reason anymore." I even bought tickets for a show in Montreal in September," said another.

Even with the interruption, Morrissey maintained that the European tour is still ongoing, stating, "The wagon rolls on to Berlin, 27 June." "With the grace of God we will all gather."
