News of the European run arrives shortly after Morrissey appeared to quietly cancel his South American tour earlier this month. According to ticketing sites and concert promoters for the South American leg of the ‘Nude’ world tour, all dates for November were cancelled because the singer’s “extreme exhaustion”.

The latest set of cancellations come only days after Morrissey axed two shows in Mexico for the same reason. Following those cancellations, he shared a simple update on his website, writing, “I know it’s gonna happen someday” alongside several emojis of the Mexican flag.

As of the time of writing, Morrissey’s singular show in Greece in December and his US dates in January 2026 remain intact.

These are far from the first Morrissey shows to be cancelled or postponed in recent months – in April, he called off two US shows after being hospitalised with “a severe sinusitis attack”, while a show in Stockholm in June was cancelled after the singer said his band were “travel-weary beyond belief” and had received “zero music industry support”.

Morrissey’s comments about the music industry followed ongoing drama surrounding his long-mooted new album ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’. The record was recorded between 2020 and 2021 and had been announced for a 2023 release on Capitol, but still hasn’t come out owing to the singer’s departure from the label in 2022.

He has since described ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ as “the modern version” of The Smiths’ 1986 classic ‘The Queen Is Dead’, and has said he is being “gagged” over its release.

Blaming the “idiot culture”, he said: “There is no arts media anymore in England, therefore there’s no one to whom I can sit and talk about this. The fact is, genuine artists in England are now being held hostage by people who object to any manner of alternative opinion.”

Last year, he said he had bought back the rights back to the album, as well as his 2014 record ‘World Peace Is None Of Your Business’. He later told Medium that “there are two albums” that he has completed but is unable to release, the other being ‘Without Music, The World Dies’.

“The second one was re-recorded in France in late 2023, and given a new title. We scrapped half of the tracks and we recorded six new ones, and so it is not the album from the beginning of 2023.”

He added: “Labels say that they are both fantastic high-quality pop albums but they say that they can’t release them because they don’t want the wrath of The Guardian making their lives hell. The harassment campaign against me by The Guardian is worldwide knowledge now, and it is effective in the sense that labels do not want to become involved with this Gotcha! Journalism.”
