Mentioned on the Janice Long show this week, see this thread in the forums.

There is an audio clip in that thread too, in which Janice says "He'll be touring here before Christmas, will Morrissey, new album next year".

Found out tonight that Janice has it wrong. There will definitely NOT be any UK dates this year. Sorry for the confusion.

    Sheffield City Hall is free from the 7th Dec onwards ... I seem to remember you were pretty pleased with the rapturous applause you received there last time. We also have pretty good festivities here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire (there'll be no mistletoe with us dour tykes, in case you're worried about that) so how about including us on your Christmas mini-tour?
    God, how I hope this rumour is true, even though my bank balance currently resembles Bob Cratchit's and the rotas are already set at work, I will find a way to make it to a UK gig ... "Penny for the Guy?"

                  don't want to spoil this potential good news for UK fans (including me) but the announcement on True To You -

                  22 August 2007
                  http://true-to-you.net/morrissey_news_070822_01

                  - re the current US dates was specifically that these were "the final 30 shows of the tour....the last Morrissey will do for the foreseeable future". i looked into going to nyc from london and decided it was too pricey. if i'd gone ahead with the plan i'd be annoyed (to put it mildly).

                  was that announcement regarding US dates only? it didn't say so. it said: "Morrissey's current tour began 18 months ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma...from the now-famous run of London Palladium shows to the Alexandra Palace, from Mexico City to Stockholm, from Omaha, Nebraska to the Hollywood Bowl, there have been many incredible nights all over the world.

                  "We are now delighted to announce the final 30 shows of the tour. These shows will be the last Morrissey will do for the foreseeable future. The desire is to go out with some great memories for everyone, as who knows what the future will bring."

                  so we might reasonably have inferred that the current US dates were the last (anywhere), and as a result people will have dug deep to get to them. of course it would be good news if he plays here this year. but it would also show that announcements on True To You may be er, unreliable.

                    OK if Morrissey does 2-3 shows in the UK, perhaps London or Manchester, and not TOO Close to Christmas (and this I mean not the 23rd or the 24th) they are Guaranteed to sell out in minutes....

                        Janice Long is one of the few long-term radio / media people who Morrissey seems to trust in the UK. So if she says he will do some shows before Christmas....then it might be pretty reliable!

                          Not sure, but I think it's just her wishful thinking, because of last year.

                          Still, I suppose there's also a chance that she was "infering".
