"Having travelled for two days by road, Morrissey reached the hotel in Valencia late on Wednesday. Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise/loud techno singing/megaphone announcements. The statement went on to say that this experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state, and that he would not be performing."
"Morrissey wrote that his hotel was an indescribable hell. It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement."
"Of the 21 concerts booked this year to promote his new album, Make-Up Is a Lie, five in San Diego, St Louis, Atlanta, the Dominican Republic and St Petersburg, Florida have already been cancelled and one, at Rancho Mirage in California, has been postponed."
Morrissey cancelled a scheduled concert in Valencia after arriving at his hotel late Wednesday during the Las Fallas festival. Continuous noise from the festival, including loud techno music and megaphone announcements, prevented him from sleeping or resting throughout the night. The sleep deprivation left him in what his statement described as a catatonic state, making performance impossible. He produced recordings of the noise to justify the cancellation. Tickets for the show at Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia cost up to €103. Morrissey described his hotel experience as an indescribable hell requiring a year to recover. He remains scheduled to perform in Zaragoza and Seville later in March. This cancellation reflects a pattern of concert cancellations throughout his career.
