Morrissey Plans 2008 Gigs

Let it be known that Steven Patrick Morrissey is nothing if not a man of his word. Though we still wait with bated breath for news of Morrissey's new label deal or that greatest hits comp, we find our Moz making good on an old promise today with the announcement of the first of what promise to be many live engagements in the new year.

The man himself hits France in the middle of January, with a six night residency in London comprising the bulk of his current itinerary. Thanks to True to You for the tip.

And let's not forget the follow-up to Ringleader of the Tormentors, which should see the light of day in September 2008.
