Indie legend Morrissey is heading to the United States to begin his world tour, but not before he battles with immigration officials.
Morrissey is due to begin the new tour in support of his album ‘Years Of Refusal’. Released in the UK earlier this year, it was a furious riposte to critics and contained the hit single ‘I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris’.
The former Smiths singer is due to begin his world tour in the United States, where he recently cancelled four dates due to ill health. Attempting to enter the country recently the singer was questioned for some time by immigration officials.
In a blog posting on his MySpace page, Morrissey wrote: “I have survived the interrogation of Atlanta’s Immigration officials and Myrtle Beach shall have me tomorrow nite (Friday), and the world from then onwards … if the world can take it.”
“One of the many penalties of being human is that tours often take a military push to start, well, all of our answers will be in our songs tomorrow night. The bloodbath starts at 7.30. Life is testing you out. Be ready for anything.”
Morrissey’s tour of the United States is set to travel the country and includes a very special appearance at the Coachella festival on April 17th. The event had attempted to fund a multi-million dollar Smiths re-union.
