The official announcement came today that Morrissey will embark on his first US tour in three years. In support of his last album, Ringleader Of The Tormentors (Attack), he spent most of 2006 in every country but the US, headlining appearances at the V Festival and Manchester's G Mex Arena. Besides shows in Chicago and Pasadena, fans have been waiting rather patiently for the former Smiths frontman to return. Morrissey has handpicked unsigned duo KRISTEENYOUNG to support the entire tour. The group's fourth album, The Orphans, was produced by Tony Visconti, who has also worked with Moz. The tour will kick off next month in Stockton, California and will hit just about every state in the US by the end of July. And hopefully, Moz wont want to wait until three years before he does it again.
