Morrissey will celebrate his 50th birthday performing to fans in his hometown of Manchester.

The former Smiths frontman has announced he will play three UK tour dates next year in May, including one on his birthday on May 22 at the Manchester Apollo.

Morrissey, who is being supported by special guests Doll And The Kicks, will play another gig at the Manchester Apollo on May 23 and will perform at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday May 11.

The singer's new studio album Years Of Refusal will be released on February 16 on Polydor, following the release of new single I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris on Monday February 9.

In exclusive pictures just revealed, the cover of Morrissey's new album shows the singer posing, holding a smiling baby under one arm.

Tickets for the UK gigs go on sale on Friday December 5 at 10am from the venues and also available at www.gigsandtours.com.
