Morrissey will play three live shows in May 2009.

The ex-Smiths frontman has lined up dates in Manchester and London to promote his new album Years Of Refusal.

The singer will perform at London's Royal Albert Hall on May 11 before heading to Manchester for two homecoming dates at the Apollo on May 22 and 23. He will be joined by special guest Doll & The Kicks.

The new LP, Morrissey's tenth solo offering, will be released on February 16 and is preceded by the single 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' a week earlier.

Tickets for the live shows go on sale tomorrow.
