Four-midable Mozz!
Manc pop legend set for spectacular return.

MANCHESTER music legend Morrissey is planning a spectacular homecoming later this year - with plans to perform four concerts at as many different venues in the city.

The gigs will be held in a range of different concert spaces - one is said to be the Bridgewater Hall and another at either the Palace Theatre or Opera House.

Other venues believed to be on Mozzer's wish list are Salford's Lowry Arts Centre and the MEN Arena.

Although dates and venues have not yet been officially confirmed, the four Manchester gigs are said to form part of a 30 date tour to follow the March release of Mozzer's new album, The Ringleader of the Tormentors. Talk of the gigs has caused feverish anticipation among fans - who have already been calling up the city's main venues in the hope of getting an early hold on tickets.

An industry insider said:"Fans are desperate to get hold of tickets - without any official word on when they are going on sale yet.
"As soon as the Manchester dates are confirmed, the gigs are almost certain to sell out.
"It will also be big news if he chooses the Palace Theatre, as that was the setting for one of his most famous gigs."

Fan website True-To-You, to which Morrissey himself regularly contributes, has said his first single off the new album, You Have Killed Me, will be released in March.

The legendary Manc will be hoping to capitalise on the huge success he achieved in 2004 with his album You Are The Quarry and ensuing tour - which saw him back in Manchester for the first time in 10 years.
