Morrissey Spotted Enjoying Pint After Tour Announcement

Music legend Morrissey enjoyed a beer with a friend in a rare outing after he announced his new tour this week.

The singer and former Smiths frontman, 66, tucked into a packet of crisps with his pint as he enjoyed some downtime in a Cheshire beer garden on Thursday.

Keeping a low profile, the star sported a casual look, wearing a black leather jacket and denim jeans, paired with a cap. 

He appeared to be in good spirits, with the pair raising their glasses for a toast before sipping their drinks.

The extremely private singer's outing comes just days after he announced his brand new European tour in support of his latest album Make-Up Is A Lie.

His shows kick off in Norway this June, before moving on to cities including , , , , Portugal, and the .

The tour takes a break in Portugal on August 1, before resuming in the Netherlands in December and culminating in Brussels on New Year's Eve. 

His latest tour announcement follows a rocky start to the year that saw Morrissey .

Just last month he pulled out of his scheduled show in Valencia last minute due to sleep deprivation.

Morrissey was said to have been .

Earlier in the year, he cancelled other shows due to health concerns, though no further details were given.

In September last year, he axed two of his shows in the US after a 'credible threat' on his life.

In a statement on his Facebook page, a spokesperson said at the time: 'In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrisey's life.

'Due to recent events and out of an abundance of caution for both the artist and band, the upcoming shows this weekend at Foxwoods and MGM Music Hall have been cancelled.

'All tickets will be refunded automatically at your original point of purchase.' 

Authorities had arrested 26-year-old Noah Castellano, a Canadian who allegedly posted a deadly threat against the singer on the social media app Bluesky.

On September 4, Castellano allegedly shared his plans on Bluesky ahead of Morrissey’s scheduled performance at the annual CityFolk Festival in the Canadian capital Ottawa, according to court documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen.

His alleged post read: 'Steven Patrick Morrissey when you perform at TD Place here it Ottawa next week on the evening of September 12th, 2025 at about 9pm, I will be present at the venue in the audience and I will attempt to shoot you many times and kill you with a very large gun that I own illegally.'

The post, which referred to Morrissey by his birth name, was shared from an account named ‘guy who gets shot in the head one hundred thousand times a day.’

Morrissey shot to fame in the 1980s with The Smiths, where they had a string of hits including The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, Everyday Is Like Sunday and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

He has since gone solo and has carved a successful career and has an Ivor Novello award for Outstanding Contribution to British music.  

Morrissey has drawn attention in recent years for aligning more closely with right-wing views, particularly due to controversial comments he’s made about race.

The star has become increasingly vocal in his opposition to England’s liberal-leaning immigration policies and previously expressed support for 'For Britain,' a far-right political party that was dissolved in 2022.

While speaking about acid attacks, Morrissey said: 'London is second only to Bangladesh for acid attacks.

'All of the attacks are non-white, and so they cannot be truthfully addressed by the British government or the Met Police or the BBC because of political correctness,' as reported by The Week.

In another odd remark, the musician stated: 'Racism is at its most abhorrent in relation to eating animals.

'If you eat animals, isn’t it a display of hatred for a certain species? And what gives you the right to eat another species or race? Would you eat people from Sri Lanka?'
