Morrissey cancels Valencia show after hotel 'hell' leaves him sleep deprived

Morrissey canceled Thursday’s scheduled show in Valencia at the Palau de les Arts after his blog said the event "has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation." The post said he "drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise." Another entry described the hotel as an "indescribable hell," adding: "It will take [him] one year to recover.

And that is an understatement." The blog blamed "festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements," saying the "experience has left [him] in a catatonic state." A representative did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Morrissey released his 14th solo album, "Make Up Is a Lie," last week.

The singer has canceled other dates recently, including a Rancho Mirage show in January after "an adverse reaction to a prescription medication," a pair of January shows and several 2025 dates.
