Morrissey Announces New Album

Morrissey's 10th solo album is due for release this summer, and the perpetually mopey singer came up with a typically understated title for it. 'World Peace Is None of Your Business' will hit the streets in late June or early July (no concrete date has been announced yet).

The 12-song album was recorded in France with producer Joe Chiccarelli, best known for his work on albums by the Strokes and Killers, among others.

Moz will be touring the U.S. prior to the album's release (hopefully), with dates throughout May and June, including special shows in Los Angeles and New York City with Sirs (with Tom Jones and Cliff Richard, respectively, as opening acts. More information can be found on Morrissey's Facebook page.

According to the Morrissey fan site True To You,  the former Smiths singer is said to be "beyond ecstatic" with the new album, his first since 2009′s ‘Years of Refusal.’
