Morrissey pumps up tour schedule
Morrissey , who last month unveiled plans for a handful of US concerts in support of his forthcoming alblum "Year's of Refusal," has quadrupled the size of his itinerary.
Now set to kick of Feb. 28 in Boca Raton, FL, the roadtrip now stretches into mid-April and comprises stops in more than 30 cities. An April 17 performance at this year's Coachella festival caps the run. Details are included below.
Morrissey's substantial tour plans mark a dramatic about-face for the emo icon, who last fall announced that his then-current slate of fall shows would be his last "for the foreseeable future." He had just completed a 21-month-long world tour when he issued the statement.
Since then, the singer has changed both his management and his British record label, leaving Sanctuary Records to sign a new deal with Decca to release his latest set, "Years of Refusal." The album, Morrissey's ninth as a solo artist, is due out Feb. 16.
The album was produced by the late Jerry Finn (AFI, Bad Religion), who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage not long after the record's completion. Finn died at the age of 39 in August soon after being taken off life support.
Morrissey's previous studio album, "Ringleader of the Tormentors," saw light in 2006.
