Considering Morrissey’s dubious 2013, I’m not entirely confident the man is capable of completing even a multi-leg flight, much less an entire American tour. But it’s exciting just the same to see Moz announce U.S. tour dates, especially when the last of those dates is walking distance from my house. I’m not sure who’s opening for every city in between Los Angeles and Brooklyn, but for those dates (at least) he’s got some legit old-school heavyweights warming up the crowd: Tom Jones in LA, and Cliff Richard in BK. The dates precede a new Moz solo album, to be released in the second half of 2014. I’m looking forward to all of it, and will continue to do so until it starts to slowly, wildly, dramatically unravel. Tour dates below.
