Singer Morrissey reportedly abandoned a performance this week, walking off stage in Poland after a fan made offensive comments towards him.

A message posted on promoter Live Nation’s Facebook page on Wednesday said: “During today’s Morrissey concert at Stodola Club in Warsaw one of the members of the audience standing close to the stage directed extremely offensive and chauvinistic words to the artist.

“This forced the artist to leave the stage.”

The promoter offered anyone at the abandoned gig free admission to a Morrissey concert taking place tonight in Krakow, a four-hour drive from the capital.

According to reports, a person near the stage shouted comments about the former Smiths singer having cancer, after which he left the stage.

The singer last month revealed he has been receiving medical treatment to deal with cancerous tissue.

He is due to play Dublin’s 3 Arena, formerly the O2, formerly the Point, on December 1st. It will be his first Irish show since 2011.
