Morrissey went on to perform at the festival as planned.
Many artists have canceled concerts after threats against them or their audiences, including Marilyn Manson, The Chicks and, most recently, Taylor Swift.
Swift canceled three shows in Vienna, Austria, while on the European leg of the Eras Tour in August 2024 after authorities discovered a planned terror attack targeting her concerts.
“We live in a time in which violent means are being used to attack our Western way of life,” Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer wrote on X at the time. “Islamist terrorism threatens security and freedom in many Western countries. This is precisely why we will not give up our values ​​​​such as freedom and democracy, but will defend them even more vehemently.”

In response to the alleged terror plot planned for the concert, Swift took to social media to address her fans, calling the situation “devastating” and saying the reason for the cancellations “filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt.”
“I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together,” she wrote on Instagram. “I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London.
“My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us. Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows.”
