Also affected are the July 15 concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany, the July 17 gig at Koncerthuset in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the July 19 show at Dalhalla in Rattvik, Sweden.

The “LIHS” tour will recommence Nov. 23 at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, Mexico. Morrissey’s management stated that the cancelled shows are going to be postponed.

“We deeply regret any inconvenience to the fans and promise to reschedule UK and European dates as soon as possible.

“All original purchasers from official ticket outlets will have the full ticket fee refunded, including booking fee, to their credit/debit cards. Refunds from ticket agents will be actioned from midday on Monday, July 2.”

The artist’s management also states that the “LIHS” has been Morrissey’s “most successful tour to date, having achieved record business for the artist in both the U.S. and the UK.”
