Morrissey has canceled his upcoming Las Vegas residency — just months after lack of sleep forced him to pull the plug on another performance.
The former Smiths frontman announced Friday that his five-show run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace would no longer go ahead due to “unforeseen logistical challenges.”
“We regret to announce that the upcoming Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is cancelled,” an email sent to fans said, according to Rolling Stone.

“Due to unforeseen logistical challenges, we are unable to proceed with the scheduled shows at this time.”
The statement added, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.”
The residency was scheduled to kick off Aug. 28 and run through Sept. 5.
The latest cancellations come just months after Morrissey, 67, scrapped a concert in Spain after claiming he was suffering from severe “sleep deprivation.”

The “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” singer was scheduled to perform in Madrid in March but canceled the show shortly before he was due to take the stage.
At the time, Morrissey explained that he had been unable to sleep the night before because of loud construction near his hotel.
“An 8am drill is a drill too far,” he wrote in a statement, claiming the disruption left him in a “catatonic state.”
“I will need one year to recover,” he added.

Morrissey has developed a lengthy history of canceling or postponing concerts over the years.
In November 2025, he called off two shows in the US after receiving what his team described as a “credible death threat” ahead of a planned performance in Ottawa, Canada.
He also canceled a string of North American dates in 2024 after initially citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
Morrissey rose to fame as the lead singer of The Smiths alongside guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce in the 1980s.
Following the influential British rock band’s 1987 breakup, Morrissey launched a successful solo career.
