Morrissey hits out at “trolls whose heads are not attached to their bodies” for claiming upcoming show has been cancelled

Morrissey has hit out at those who have claimed that his upcoming show in Poland has been cancelled.

The former Smiths frontman turned solo icon recently announced additional dates for his 2025 solo dates. The new dates come after he began teasing fans, saying big news was on the way. He later went on to share a handful of dates for Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin, taking place this June.

Now, Morrissey has taken to his official website to address the claims that his show in Krakow, Poland has been cancelled. “Trolls whose heads are not attached to their bodies, keep fit by posting poisonous information,” he wrote. “Morrissey’s projected concert in Krakow will 100% take place. Please accept this notification as either assurance or warning.”

The musician is no stranger to cancelling shows. His recently announced 2025 UK dates Morrissey’s first in the country since abruptly cancelling a show at London’s Crystal Palace back in April 2023. The gig was set for July 9, and around that same time, the singer announced a tour of the UK and Ireland, including a replacement date for July 9.

His July 9 show  – which was set to take place at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall – was then cancelled, with the venues hosting the shows citing “unforeseen circumstances”.

All new shows are taking place following a brief run of Los Angeles gigs to round off 2024, as well as a sold-out tour of North America in late October and November.

The live shows follow the new updates the singer has given over new material in recent months – namely the long-delayed album ‘Bonfire Of The Teenagers’.

The singer went on to share a statement on his website around the status of ‘Bonfire’, accusing Capitol Records of “fascism” and having a “creeping culture of censorship”. He also said that he was “quickly coming around to” the belief that the brand only signed ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers’ “in order to sabotage it”.

He also took it a step further and alleged that the CEO of Capitol Records was trying to derail his career, before then taking to his website to say he was being “gagged” over the release of ‘Bonfire Of The Teenagers’.

Issues with the album continued into 2024, with Morrissey buying back the rights to two of his albums in April of that year following a long-running dispute with Capitol Records. He described the situation to fans as “a long, hard, bloody war.”

Last November, he told a crowd at one of his shows in the US that he was being prevented from releasing new music due to a war on “free speech”, saying: “You cannot speak freely in England. If you don’t believe me, go there. Express an opinion, you’ll be sent to prison. It’s very, very difficult.”
