‘Credible’ assassination threat prompts rocker to cancel Boston, Connecticut shows | 19 Sept 2025 | British rocker Morrissey has cancelled two shows in New England after his team said there was a “credible threat” to assassinate him onstage — a move that came days after an Ottawa man was charged over an alleged online death threat tied to the singer’s Sept. 12 festival set in Canada. The canceled concerts were set for Friday at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., and Saturday at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway… Canadian authorities say 26-year-old Noah Castellano posted a threat on Bluesky on Sept. 4 before Morrissey’s CityFolk appearance in Ottawa, according to court documents cited by local media. Police arrested Castellano on Sept. 12 and charged him with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. He was released on $5,000 bail. A Bluesky account using the name “guy who gets shot in the head one hundred thousand times a day” allegedly wrote: “Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week…I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.”
