The decision comes just days after a Canadian man was charged over an alleged online death threat targeting the performer. British singer Morrissey has canceled two scheduled concerts in New England after his team cited a "credible threat" to assassinate him onstage, RadarOnline.com can report. "In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey's life," read a statement posted Friday on his official social media accounts. "Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and band," the two shows were cancelled. Morrissey, whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, thanked fans for their understanding.
