"Morrissey described his stay at the hotel in Plaza de Manises as an indescribable hell. It will take me a year to recover. And that is an understatement. Despite this unsettling statement, the Spanish leg of his tour, which is part of the European tour promoting the album Make-Up is a Lie, is expected to continue on Saturday, March 14 at the Auditorio de Zaragoza and on March 16 at the Cartuja Center CITE in Seville."
"The decision to cancel the concert in Valencia further fuels Morrissey's reputation as an emotionally volatile artist prone to breaking professional commitments for the most outlandish reasons. It also doesn't make things easy for his large and loyal fanbase, who watch as their idol's constant controversies and outbursts overshadow his undeniable value as one of the most brilliant and influential British pop musicians of the last half-century."
"Various sources within the Spanish music industry acknowledge that working with Morrissey is a real headache. A nightmare, some even say. They explain that it's increasingly difficult to find an insurance company willing to cover an artist with an average cancellation rate of nearly 30%."
Morrissey cancelled his first Spanish concert in 10 years at Valencia's Palau de les Arts Auditorium, claiming he couldn't sleep due to electronic music from a street party near his hotel during the Fallas festival. Local promoters had previously warned about street closures and nighttime activity in downtown Valencia, but the production office booked a hotel in Plaza de Manises anyway. Morrissey described the experience as an indescribable hell requiring a year to recover. Despite this cancellation, his European tour promoting the album Make-Up is a Lie continues with scheduled performances in Zaragoza and Seville. The incident reinforces Morrissey's reputation for volatile behavior and cancellations, with Spanish music industry sources noting his approximately 30% cancellation rate makes him difficult to insure.
