It’s been a busy 2009 for Morrissey — canceling tour dates, prepping a b-sides comp, posing nearly nude, lashing out at ex-Smiths, telling fans not to buy his stuff — but the singer will close it out with a just-announced nine-date U.S. run of mostly West Coast concerts.
On the heels of his new set of fall European dates, Moz will return to the U.S. in late November for his first American concert since being nauseated by the stench of barbecuing meat at April’s Coachella Festival. The singer will open the trek Nov. 29 in Seattle, then perform in Portland, Or., and Las Vegas, plus stage six concerts in California, including one at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, site of a canceled post-Coachella gig.
British act Doll & The Kicks will open Morrissey’s fall European and American dates.

Yeah, it’s not looking like he’s ever going to reschedule that first batch of shows he dumped…
When will the tickets even go on sale? I haven’t seen any updates and am anticipating to buy them asap. Will be there for So-Cal shows! Can’t wait!
