MADRID  –   Morrissey has cancelled a concert in Spain because he didn’t get enough sleep. The singer, who has become something of an expert in calling off gigs, said his latest no-show was due to the “indescribable hell” of a noisy hotel room in Valencia. Updating fans in a personal message, the former Smiths frontman said: “It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement.” About 1,500 fans had been due to attend the show at Valencia’s Palau de Les Artes Reina Sofia. The Associated Press reports that the disturbance outside Morrissey’s hotel room may have been caused by celebrations taking place around Valencia’s Las Fallas festival, which welcomes in the spring. The singer is currently touring his new album Make-Up Is A Lie, and while the European tour has mostly proceeded without a hitch, he cancelled five of eight planned US dates at the start of the year, saying he had caught flu. “I apologise deeply but it is -44 degrees outside, and everyone is hacking themselves to death, and I am, regrettably, human,” he wrote at the time. “I am doing my small and pathetic best.” Scrapping a show because he’s sleepy is a new excuse, but it’s not the strangest in rock history. Here are some memorable examples. Harvest Moon singer Neil Young had to scrap an entire European tour in 1997 after he sliced off the top of his finger while making a ham sandwich. “I’d have eaten the thing in one piece if I’d known that cutting it in half would jeopardize the tour,” he said in a statement. “It’s macaroni and cheese from now on.” Young was urged to stay away from guitars while the finger healed. He missed 16 dates, including an appearance at the Glastonbury festival.
