Morrissey has announced that he will restart his Years Of Refusal world tour in Luxembourg this Friday.

The former Smiths frontman had been forced to postpone a number of UK dates after he was advised to rest by doctors.

Morrissey said: "I have been reconstructed by a Wiltshire hospital and I am as close to good health as I'm likely to get.

"I apologise to everyone caught up in the to-ing and fro-ing, but the disappointment of postponement is less than the disappointment of hearing me sing on one engine."

He added: "I should stress that nothing has been cancelled. The four London concerts are repositioned in July, and both Birmingham and the Royal Albert Hall are October fixtures.

"I've endured a titanic struggle against an intolerable virus lately, and although Hull, Hartlepool and Manchester were nights that comprised a whole life, the physical limits were reached. False notes crush the soul."
