Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr will follow up his lengthy spring U.S. tour with a second round of American dates late this fall in support of his new solo album The Messenger, playing 18 shows this October and November — including a slot at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas.

Three days after he was supposed to launch a South American tour in Peru, Morrissey late Friday finally addressed the “corrosively toxic food poisoning” that put the whole tour in jeopardy, issuing a statement in which he apologized to fans and announced he will be ready to perform later this month.

The Chilean concert promoter that originally announced Morrissey had postponed his entire South American tour after he and part of his team suffered “severe food poisoning” now says the ex-Smiths singer is rescheduling his concerts in Chile, but that the shows planned in Peru are “canceled definitively.”

A day after organizers of Morrissey’s planned concerts in Peru and Chile announced the ex-Smiths frontman had postponed his entire South American tour after he suffered “severe food poisoning,” the promoter of dates in Argentina and Brazil insisted that those shows will go on as scheduled.

Press and promoters in Peru and Chile this evening reveal Morrissey has postponed his entire South American tour after he and members of his team suffered “severe food poisoning” just hours before the ex-Smiths singer was due to return to the stage for the first time since canceling his North American tour.

After missed opportunities at a pair of U.S. shows booked around Coachella this past April, it finally happened: Bernard Sumner joined Johnny Marr on stage in England tonight for a one-song Electronic reunion as the duo performed their 1989 single “Getting Away With It” during the ex-Smiths guitarist’s slot opening for New Order.
