Spanska ambassaden hånar Morrissey för inställd Valencia-konsert

Spanska ambassaden i Storbritannien har hånat Morrissey efter att han ställt in en konsert i Valencia på grund av sömnbrist orsakad av buller från Las Fallas-festivalen. Den före detta frontmannen i The Smiths angav att festivalens ljud hindrade honom från att vila efter en lång bilresa. Ambassadens inlägg på sociala medier refererade lekfullt till en av hans bands låtar.

Morrissey, soloartisten och tidigare frontman i The Smiths, ställde in sitt planerade framträdande på Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía i Valencia den 12 mars 2026. Inställningen följde på klagomål om sömnbrist orsakad av buller från Las Fallas-festivalen, en veckolång firande känd för fyrverkerier och festligheter som vanligtvis pågår från 15 till 19 mars men ofta börjar tidigare. ¹nHans team utfärdade ett uttalande via Morrissey Central, som förklarade: “Having travelled for two days by road, Morrissey reached the hotel in Valencia late on Wednesday. Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements.” De tillade: “This experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state. Before leaving for tonight’s scheduled concert, please check that the show remains possible under these circumstances.” ¹nI slutändan genomfördes inte konserten. Ett uppföljningsuttalande löd: “Tonight’s scheduled show in Valencia has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation. Morrissey drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise. The show is not cancelled. Circumstances render the show impossible.” Morrissey beskrev senare sin vistelse i Plaza Manises-området som ett “indescribable hell,” och uppgav: “It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement.” ¹nHändelsen väckte hån på nätet, inklusive från Pitchfork som rubrikerade artikeln ’Morrissey cancels show because he is sleepy’. Spanska ambassaden i Storbritannien bidrog till hånandet på X genom att posta film från Las Fallas-fyrverkerier med texten: “The Fallas festival in Valencia has already begun, and we have had our first casualty. Morrissey has cancelled his show because he couldn’t sleep.” De lekte med The Smiths låt “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” och tillade: “Fallas is noise, fireworks… and there is a light that never goes out! Enjoy today’s mascletá!” ¹nDetta är den sjätte inställningen på Morrisseys turné, efter konserter i St. Petersburg, Florida; San Diego; St. Louis; och Atlanta – den sistnämnda på grund av “artist illness.” Han skjöt också upp ett framträdande i Kalifornien efter en “adverse reaction to a prescription medication.” En webbplats som spårar inställningar rapporterar hans nuvarande inställningsgrad till 24 procent.
