Morrissey Cancels Show Because He Was Sleepy

"Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements that left Morrissey in a catatonic state. A second post claimed the scheduled show had been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation, with bolded text emphasizing the concert was not canceled but rather circumstances render the show impossible."

"He called the Valencia hotel indescribable hell. He added, It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement. This was the seventh concert that Morrissey canceled so far this year, disappointing fans who gambled on him performing as promised in San Diego, St. Louis, Atlanta, and elsewhere."

Morrissey canceled his concert at Palau Des Les Arts in Valencia, Spain, citing sleep deprivation as the reason. After traveling by road for two days, he arrived late at his hotel where festival noise, loud techno music, and megaphone announcements prevented him from sleeping, leaving him in what he described as a catatonic state. Through multiple website posts, he emphasized that circumstances rendered the show impossible rather than it being officially canceled. He called the hotel experience indescribable hell and stated recovery would take one year. This represents his seventh cancellation in the current year, adding to his documented 24% cancellation rate throughout his career.
