According to fansite True To You, the former Smiths frontman will perform with Tom Jones and Missouri singer Kristeen Young on 10 May at Los Angeles Sports Arena, before sharing the stage with Cliff Richard and Young on 21 June at New York’s Barclays Center.

These are the first confirmed shows for the singer, who abandoned a series of tours last year, blaming a “lack of funding” and sickness as reasons for his nixed dates. “Cancellations and illness have sucked the life out of all of us,” he wrote on True To You, “and the only sensible solution seems to be the art of doing nothing.”

For his latest album, Morrissey has inked a deal with Capitol/Harvest Records, who plan to release the singer’s 10th full-length in the second half of 2014. The 54-year-old will work with his longtime touring band and the sessions will be produced by Joe Chiccarelli, an American who has produced and engineered recordings by Jason Mraz, the Strokes, Keaton Henson and Mika.

Additional dates are yet to be announced. Take a look at the tour posters below:
