Did Morrissey make an excuse to cancel Sweden concert? Fumed netizens ask ‘Is this guy for real?'

Morrissey called off a concert in Stockholm, Sweden, over the weekend, citing fatigue after touring six countries in seven days. Following the cancellation, he been accused of 'making excuses'. Morrissey has terminated or suspended over 100 gigs since 2010.(AP) In a social media message, the artist attributed the situation on a 'lack of financial support from imaginary record labels.' 'We are travel-weary beyond belief. We can barely see. We pray to God that someone, somewhere can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark … where we have thousands upon thousands of friends, yet absolutely zero music industry support. No label will release our music, no radio will play our music … and yet our ticket sales are sensational. What does this tell us about the state of Art in 2025?' Morrissey added. The vocalist began his career as the Smiths' frontman in the 1980s and later established a prosperous solo career. Morrissey has, however, also faced criticism over the years for his divisive opinions, particularly his remarks against immigration in the UK.

The pain at not reaching Stockholm this week is horrific for the band and crew.
