Just four hours before the show, the venue issued a statement that Morrissey had cancelled his appearance at Palacio De Los Deportes, in Mexico City (on Halloween), and also in Guadalajara, in Mexico (on November 4). The reason was “agotamiento extremo” (“extreme exhaustion”). This is the third time that Morrissey cancelled Palacio de los Deportes, he originally cancelled the venue in 2023 and 2024!! Third time’s the charm, I guess.

04 Nov 2025 Guadalajara – Auditorio Telmex (Cancelled)

Let’s face it, Morrissey, for whatever reasons, does not want to play Mexico. Let’s take a look at the history of Mexico cancellation via our Every date that Morrissey has ever cancelled page.

In early 2024, Morrissey cancelled Mexico, and other Latin American countries, due to “physical exhaustion”:

03 Feb 2024 Mexico City – Palacio de los Deportes (cancelled)
08 Feb 2024 Lima – Anfiteatro del Parque de la Exposición (cancelled)
10 Feb 2024 Bogota – Movistar Arena (cancelled)
15 Feb 2024 Santiago – Movistar Arena (cancelled)
17 Feb 2024 Buenos Aires – Movistar Arena (cancelled)
22 Feb 2024 São Paulo – Espaço Unimed (cancelled)
24 Feb 2024 Brasilia – Opera Hall (cancelled)

In 2023, Morrissey cancelled Mexico and other countries because he got the “dengue fever”:

10 Sep 2023 Mexico City – Palacio de los Deportes (rescheduled to Oct 31)
14 Sep 2023 Lima – Anfiteatro del Parque de la Exposición (postponed)
17 Sep 2023 Bogota – Teatro Municipal Jorge Eliécer Gaitán (postponed)
21 Sep 2023 Santiago – Movistar Arena (postponed)

* The title comes a line in The Queen is Dead:

So, I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I’m the 18th pale descendent
of some old queen or other
has the world changed, or have I changed?

My alternative name would have been “The News of the World”, but that is the name of a tabloid newspaper in the UK … taken from This Night Has Opened My Eyes:

In a river the color of lead

Immerse the baby’s head
Wrap her up in The News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
