Morrissey previously axed a Stockholm, Sweden gig during the northern summer, claiming he had “zero music industry support”.
He posted on the Morrissey Central website: “The pain at not reaching Stockholm this week is horrific for the band and crew. I know it’s impossible for people to understand, but we dream of Stockholm, Reykjavik, Trondheim, Helsinki, Aarhus … but there is no financial support from imaginary record labels to get us to such places.
“In the last seven days we have travelled into six countries, and we are travel-weary beyond belief. We can barely see.
“We pray to God that someone, somewhere can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark … where we have thousands upon thousands of friends, yet absolutely zero music industry support.
“No label will release our music, no radio will play our music … and yet our ticket sales are sensational. What does this tell us about the state of Art in 2025?”
