JAKARTA - Former vocalist of The Smiths, Morrissey, has again made fans bite their fingers after suddenly canceling two of his concert schedules in Mexico. The trigger is no longer a technical issue or threat, but extreme fatigue.

The musician, known for his melancholic lyrics, was supposed to appear at Palacio De Los Deportes, Mexico City on October 31, followed by a show at Auditorio Telmex near Guadalajara on Tuesday, November 4.

However, through an official statement from the promoter of Ocesa on Instagram, it was confirmed that the two shows could not be continued.

"This decision was taken due to extreme fatigue experienced by the artist," said the promoter, quoted by NME, Monday, October 3.

For ticket buyers, the good news is that the refund process will be taken care of automatically for those purchased online. Meanwhile, for tickets obtained via Ticketmaster or counter, the process can be carried out at the place of purchase starting November 7.

Until this news was published, Morrissey himself had not released an official statement. The only reaction from the musician was to upload his single song link in 1992, "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday", on his personal website, complete with a Mexican emoji.

This cancellation adds to the length of schedules that Morrissey has had to postpone or cancel in recent months. His busy schedule for the next three weeks in South America "covering Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Colombia" is now being questioned, although there has been no official update.

Earlier in April, the 66-year-old musician canceled two US concerts after being rushed to hospital for a severe sinusitis attack.

It didn't stop there, the concert in Stockholm in June also failed after Morrissey argued that his band members were too tired to travel and admitted that they had no support at all from the music industry.

Drama continued in September, when two US shows were canceled following threats to his life on the Bluesky social media platform. Even last month, two concerts in Turkey were canceled, with fan speculation that the cancellation was triggered by allegations of the singer's support for Israel.

Beyond the hustle and bustle of the tour schedule, Morrissey was also in the spotlight earlier this year after an announcement on the official website that he had no choice but to sell all of his business interests at The Smiths to investors or any potential party.

"I'm fed up with all and every connection to (Johnny) Marr, (Andy) Rourke, (Mike) Joyce. I've been fed up with evil relationships. Throughout my life, I've paid my rights to these songs and pictures," he said at the time.

"I now want to live apart from those who only expect evil and destruction for me, and this is the only way out," he continued.

The announcement drew great attention, until the next update claimed that the email address for the offer had been turned off due to a tremendous response.

This story is rooted in Morrissey's claim last summer that AEG Entertainment had made a lucrative offer to organize the World Tour of The Smiths reunion. He admitted he was interested, but the plan ran aground because Marr ignored the offer.

Despite the series of cancellations and controversies, Morrissey is still scheduling his only concert in England for 2026, which will take place at The O2 in London on February 28.

Extreme fatigue seems now a serious issue for Morrissey, forcing the star to pull over, leaving a major question mark for thousands of fans waiting on the South American continent.
