Two major headlines are shaking the music world this week. Morrissey pulls the plug on a Sweden concert, blaming industry silence over his upcoming album. Meanwhile, Cardi B storms back onto the charts with her no-holds-barred new single, “Outside.” Let’s dive into both.
Morrissey Halts Stockholm Show, Points Finger at Label Silence
Morrissey, the polarizing former Smiths frontman, just canceled his June 23 show in Stockholm and he’s not being quiet about the reason. According to his team, the singer is exhausted and deeply frustrated by what he calls a total lack of support from his label.
Notably, the delay of his controversial and long-teased album Bonfire of the Teenagers seems to be the breaking point. He claims it’s been shelved with zero explanation, despite fans eagerly awaiting its release.
A Tired Artist, An Ignored Album, A Global Pause
Following several high-pressure shows across Europe, Morrissey cited “tour fatigue and industry neglect” as major reasons for the sudden exit. Instead of retreating quietly, though, he used the spotlight to call out the music machine.
Furthermore, this isn’t his first clash with the industry. In recent years, he’s faced frequent censorship, contract issues, and distribution hurdles. Still, this time feels different. The tone is sharper. The frustration is deeper. And the pause may last longer than fans expect.
Berlin Still On—for Now
Despite the Stockholm cancellation, Morrissey is still expected to perform in Berlin on June 27. However, fans remain skeptical. Given his current stance and emotional fatigue, future shows could face the same fate.
As of now, his label hasn’t issued a public response. That silence? It’s fueling the fire.
