As promised, Morrissey is adding dates to his previously announced summer tour — and not just the four Scandinavian concerts he touted in a recent and somewhat surly open letter to his fans, but he’s now tacked on three additional shows in his native U.K. as well.
For his first live dates since a series of trouble-prone 2009 outings, Morrissey will return to the stage this summer with a nine-date U.K. tour leading up to a slot headlining the Hop Farm Music Festival alongside such icons as Lou Reed, Iggy & The Stooges and Patti Smith.
