According to the news outlet, a post on the social media platform read: Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally."
Morrissey cancelled two US shows at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston citing a credible threat to his life and concerns for safety. The cancellations were posted on his official Facebook account, citing precaution for the artist, band and audience.
