Morrissey has announced that he will tour the US in the autumn.

The former Smiths frontman will kick off the six-week stint in Las Vegas on September 21, pausing for residencies in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The 47-year-old cancelled several US shows earlier this year due to a throat infection, a number of which have yet to be rescheduled.

His latest album, Ringleader of the Tormentors, went to number one in 2006.
