Morrissey has canceled shows because of death threat in Ottawa
Morrissey has canceled plenty of shows in the past, but this is a first. A 26-year-old man from Ottawa has now in custody after making a death threat against Mozzer on social media just before he before at CityFolk Festival last week.
Noah Castellano posted something threatening on Bluesky on September 4 using the account name “guy who gets shot in the head one hundred thousand times a day.”
I quote: “Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here in Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.”
Mozzer performed at CityFolk without incident, although his set was rather short. This could explain why.
Castellano was released on $5,000 bail. He’s been ordered to stay at his father’s home which is in Washington DC. It’s not clear if Castellano is Canadian or America.
Two more Morrissey shows have been canceled, just in case.
