]]>The Smiths frontman has decided to treat fans to a seven-night Broadway residency. He hits the Lunt-Fontanne Theater stage May 2nd.
The eponymous residency will precede the release of his upcoming new album, California Son. According to Hyperbeast, the covers album is Morrissey’s take on classics from the likes of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, among others. It includes contributions from Grizzly Bear‘s Ed Droste, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Broken Social Scene’s Ariel Engle.
The career-spanning shows will treat fans to an up close and personal look at the musical icon’s influence on the industry. Per an official statement, the show will feature an “intimate yet exciting exploration of Morrissey’s expansive career from his early days to his upcoming new record.”
Morrissey takes to the Lunt-Fontanne stage on May 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11.

]]>At The Majestic Ventura Theatre in California, Morrissey surprised fans with an unlikely setlist. The show was in support of his latest album ‘Low In High School’ but the event saw him performing songs he hasn’t touched in years.
The ex-Smiths frontman has recently said that he hates listening to The Smiths and feels haunted by his former music with the band. This makes it all the more surprising that he opened with his set with Smiths classic ‘William, It Was Really Nothing’, which he has not played in 11 years.
Morrissey also played songs from the earlier portion of his solo career which he has not performed live since as early as 1999. Fans could not have been happier.
