Morrissey<\/a>\u2019s touring over the past decade-plus has been marked by a steady accumulation of concert cancelations and postponements \u2014 to the point that it\u2019s almost expected anytime he announces a new leg of shows. But is that really a fair criticism?<\/p>\n

In light of his most recent string of concert cancelations<\/a>, which he attributed to \u201can adverse reaction to a prescription medication,\u201d we took a deep dive into Moz\u2019s touring history. According to publicly available data from the Morrissey fan site Morrissey-Solo<\/a>, the singer has toured every year since 2012, announcing a total of 639 concerts. Of those, he has played 449 shows, with 111 canceled and 100 postponed dates \u2014 a 70% completion rate. His most challenging years came in 2013 (when he played just 16 of 64 shows), 2016 (29 of 46), and 2025 (36 of 68).<\/p>\n

Morrissey\u2019s cancelations and postponements have been blamed on a range of factors, including illness, exhaustion, and logistical complications. He once was even sidelined due to \u201ctoxic food poisoning\u201d<\/a> after eating a bowl of \u201cpenne pasta and tomato.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going even further into Morrissey\u2019s touring history, the fan site WeHeartM<\/a> reports 402 canceled shows, postponements, or abbreviated performances across his career, dating back to his early-1980s tenure with The Smiths.<\/p>\n

With a new solo album reportedly on the horizon in 2026, Morrissey has more dates<\/a> lined up for the new year. As mentioned, the initial two shows were already derailed; as of now, he\u2019s due back on the road in San Antonio on January 10th.<\/p>\n
