Since 2012, Morrissey has canceled or postponed more than 200 concerts for a variety of reasons, including illness, logistical problems, and even “toxic food poisoning.” But this one might just take the cake: Moz has called off his gig in Valencia, Spain scheduled for Thursday night due to a poor night’s sleep caused by a noisy hotel he was staying at.
Morrissey Central posted three (!) separate statements about the singer’s night from hell, and the subsequent decision to cancel the show, with somehow each one being more incredible than the last.
“Having travelled for two days by road, Morrissey reached the hotel in Valencia late on Wednesday. Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements. This experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state. Before leaving for tonight’s scheduled concert, please check that the show remains possible under these circumstances…”
“Tonight’s scheduled show in Valencia has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation. Morrissey drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise…”
“OH VAL-EN-CIA SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR
Morrissey has described his hotel on Plaza Manises as …
‘indescribable hell. It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement.’”
