Turns out the world will listen: Online radio show “Breakfast with The Smiths — The World of Morrissey,” after just one week off the web following the shutdown of Indie1031.com, has found a new home and will return this Sunday, the program’s host, Jose Maldonado, has revealed.
After eight years, the online radio show “Breakfast with The Smiths — The World of Morrissey” is no more — at least for now — now that its longtime home, Los Angeles’ Indie 103.1, ended its webstream, which had continued to play music since the station shut down its FM signal in 2009.
Morrissey has announced his first live dates of 2017, including a pair of U.S. and Mexican festival performances in April and a trio of Texas concerts that were canceled twice late last year after his band’s keyboardist, Gustavo Manzur, fell ill prior to a show in Boulder, Colo.
Morrissey tonight announced that he will return to the U.S. this June and July to continue promoting his withdrawn album World Peace Is None of Your Business with a new 18-date tour of theaters, arenas and amphitheaters, a trek that includes a stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Johnny Marr this week made it official, formally announcing his long-discussed plans to pen a memoir, saying the book will be published in fall 2016 — three years after bandmate Morrissey’s much-buzzed “Autobiography.” No title has been announced for Marr’s book, but it will be published by Century.
Morrissey continues to expand his spring touring plans, and is now set to play four exclusive Australian shows in late May at the famed Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid LIVE 2015, the musical component of the 18-day Vivid Sydney festival. Morrissey will perform in Sydney on May 26, 27, 30 and 31.
Morrissey will perform at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Del., this summer, marking the former Smiths singer’s first U.S. concert appearance since scuttling an American tour last summer due to illness. The June 18-21 festival’s lineup was announced today, and it also features Kings of Leon, The Killers and more.
