allegedly uttering a threat to kill the singer<\/a>, whose real name is Steven Morrissey, ahead of his performance at a music festival last week.<\/p>\nThe event went on as planned, but the singer later cancelled two shows in Massachusetts and Connecticut.<\/p>\n
Morrissey was the front man of the rock band The Smiths, but left the band in 1987 to pursue a solo career.<\/p>\n
He is known for being outspoken on issues such as animal welfare and politics.<\/p>\n
In 2006, he refused to tour in Canada in protest at the annual seal hunt.<\/p>\n
After the threat against his life in Ottawa last week, he cancelled Friday’s show in Connecticut and one in Boston.<\/p>\n
“In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life,” said a statement from the Boston venue on Instagram.<\/p>\n
“Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and the band, tomorrow’s engagement at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway has been canceled.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
