VIDEO : Morrissey Cancels Tour Dates Following Accusations Of Racism

According to a report by CNN, British singer-songwriter Morrisey has canceled a series of planned July tour dates in the UK and other places in Europe amid a dispute over alleged racism. Two of the shows were to take place in Morrissey's home city, Manchester, where popular DJ Dave Haslam organized an anti-racism protest event to coincide with the former Smith frontman's visit. The accusations of racism stem from controversial comments Morrissey, who no longer lives in the United Kingdom, reportedly made earlier this month in support of British far-right figures Tommy Robinson and Anne Marie Waters.
