The Morrissey fan site is always on top of the latest Morrissey news before the rest of the world. True to You has released two show posters announcing the following concert dates in the United States:
Saturday, May 10, 2014 at Los Angeles Sports Arena: Special guests Tom Jones and Kristeen Young
Sir Thomas John Woodward (aka Tom Jones) is a Welsh singer who's racked up hits in his long career from "It's Not Unusual" and "What's New Pussycat," to 1999's "Sex Bomb." He was one of the original judges on The Voice UK. He continues to be active on the show and social media. His last album, Spirit in the Room, was released in 2012.
Kristeen Young is newer to the game, though her debut Meet Miss Young and Her All Boy Band came out in 1997. The Missourian plays the keys, sings and writes her own music, which has been described as "alt-rock." Her seventh studio album The Knife Shift will come out this year, featuring guitarist Boz Boorer and Dave Grohl on drums, a nod to the days before frontman of Foo Fighters, when Grohl was Nirvana's drummer.
Saturday, June 21, 2014 at Barclays Center in New York City: Special guests Sir Cliff Richard and Kristeen Young
Nothing could compare to Cliff Richard's success in the U.K., where he's known as one of the top hit-makers. His genres have ranged from rock 'n' roll to contemporary Christian, and he's an actor to boot.
Both Tom Jones and Cliff Richard have received knighthood from the Queen, deeming them each "Sir." Though the former Smiths singer has made it clear he is not cool with the Royal Family's practices, Morrissey seems to be at ease with his fellow musicians joining his show.
It's unclear if he wil announce more concert dates at this point, but we'll be standing by to keep you informed.
