Morrissey recently completed an extensive UK tour, which saw him play high-profile sets at Glastonbury and Hop Farm Festival.

The singer recently announced two London shows for next month at O2 Academy Brixton (August 7) and the Palladium (8) – according to True To You, he is “delighted” that tickets for the latter sold out within five minutes of going onsale.

The singer is still currently searching for a record label to release his new studio album. Despite the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Years Of Refusal’ being complete and ready to release, Morrissey has said he is struggling to find a label to put it out for him.

He has said he has no interest in self-releasing the album as his “talents do not lie in DIY”.
