British musician Morrissey will not perform a scheduled concert in Valencia, Spain, due to extreme sleep deprivation. The former frontman of The Smiths cited disturbances from local festivities, which included loud techno singing and megaphone announcements audible in his hotel room. In a statement posted on his website, Morrissey declared that these circumstances rendered the concert "impossible."

The 66-year-old artist, who had driven from Milan to Valencia, indicated that the noise left him in a "catatonic state." The statement emphasized that the show was not canceled but impossible to proceed with, leaving ticket holders uncertain about rescheduling or refunds.
