  "summary": "Morrissey has canceled his four-show Las Vegas residency at the Wynn Las Vegas' Encore Theater, which was set to begin on August 14 and end on August 19. According to Variety, the musician cited \"unforeseen logistical issues\" as the reason for the sudden cancellation. Ticket holders were informed of the cancellation via email.\n\nThis cancellation adds to Morrissey's track record of canceling shows. In March, he canceled a show in Valencia, Spain, citing being too sleepy. According to Rolling Stone, this cancellation comes just a week before the scheduled shows, leaving many fans who had already booked travel and accommodations affected.\n\nThe rest of Morrissey's scheduled late summer and early fall US tour remains on the calendar, including an appearance at Chicago's Riot Fest, where he will open for Tool. Consequence reports that his upcoming tour dates include shows in Chicago, Buffalo, Brooklyn, Lowell, Washington DC, Greensboro, Louisville, Nashville, Fort Worth, Houston, El Paso, Tempe, Huntington Beach, and Paris.",
