Morrissey 's shows in Brazil, which were scheduled for the end of September, have been postponed due to the former Smiths frontman's medical issues. As of now, no new dates have been announced for the performances in São Paulo and Brasília.
Morrissey contracted dengue fever upon arriving in Mexico, where he was scheduled to perform last Sunday, the 10th, in the first show of the 40 Years of Morrissey Tour in Latin America, which was to arrive in Brazil at the end of this month.
“Morrissey’s arrival in Mexico City resulted in a dengue infection. The virus will take 2 to 3 weeks to clear. The tour is scheduled to resume in Florida. Morrissey has not 'cancelled' any shows, but the infection makes the next two weeks impossible [for new performances],” the musician’s team said in a statement .
The singer's next scheduled shows were in Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, before landing in Brazil to perform in São Paulo on September 27th and Brasília on September 30th (see details here ). The official announcement of the postponement did not indicate a date for rescheduling the performances, and the production company Free Pass, responsible for the shows in Brazil, has not yet commented on the postponement.
Morrissey's next confirmed performance will take place in Florida, United States, on October 8th. The singer will continue his North American tour until the end of next month.
