'The singer has suffered a series of medical mishaps over the past few months including a bleeding ulcer, Barrett's esophagus and double pneumonia.'
Cancelled: Morrissey leaving Chateau Marmont in February this year - he has suffered from a string of health problems
The 53-year-old Mancunian singer, who has already been forced to cancel shows on this tour, had 23 performances remaining.
The former Smiths frontman - who has suffered a string of health problems in recent months, including a bleeding ulcer, throat condition Barrett's oesophagus, and anaemia - was forced to cancel a show in San Francisco last Saturday due to the potentially life-threatening condition.
A statement on fan site True to You said: 'Morrissey is presently being treated in San Francisco for 'double pneumonia', but remains on course to headline the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on March 14.
Morrissey had hit out at 'extreme and silly' security at the Arlene Schnitzer Theater in Portland, where he performed on Friday.
He said: 'Place an obese McDonalds fry-girl into a venue security uniform and she is suddenly Eva Braun.'

The former Smiths star had to cancel a series of shows on his US tour after being taken to hospital suffering from a bleeding ulcer and has revealed he has been treated for a condition which in rare cases can lead to cancer.
In a message posted on fan sites, he said he was also treated for a condition called Barrett's oesophagus, which is often caused by acid reflux.
It is associated with an increased risk of cancer of the oesophagus.
With typically dry humour, he said: 'There are now no known ailments left for me to try.'
