Morrissey has been forced to cancel two tour dates following a “medical emergency”.

The former Smiths frontman was scheduled to play a show in Vancouver on Sunday and Monday but the shows have now been pushed back to October.

Ticketmaster released the following statement: “Due to a medical emergency stemming from an accident incurred while traveling in Europe, Morrissey will be forced to postpone his performances in Vancouver to October 14th and 15th, 2019. Spirits are high and the artist is on the path to a swift recovery. 

“All tickets will be valid for the new date and exchanges will not be necessary. Thank you for your understanding. Morrissey looks forward to making his long-awaited return to the city and wishes to deeply thank everyone for their patience. All remaining dates on Morrissey’s tour will resume as planned, commencing in Toronto on Friday, Apr 26.”

The shows were set to be Morrissey’s first in Canada in over a decade. It is unclear what will happen regarding the rest of his April tour dates but we are waiting on more information.
