BBC:
British artist Morrissey has cancelled two shows in the US after receiving a death threat ahead of a concert in Ottawa, Canada.
A 26-year-old Ottawa man was released on bail after allegedly uttering a threat to kill the singer, whose real name is Steven Morrissey, ahead of his performance at a music festival last week.
The event went on as planned, but the singer later cancelled two shows in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Morrissey was the front man of the rock band The Smiths, but left the band in 1987 to pursue a solo career.
