The news comes after health concerns were revealed earlier this year

Singer Morrissey has given fans a huge update after he was forced to cancel shows earlier this year due to his health.

The former The Smiths frontman, 65, took to social media on Tuesday with a lengthy statement.


On his Instagram page, the controversial musician penned: "Despite recent fiascoes, I will indeed be fully present in blood-soaked flesh at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on July 26 (Friday) and 27 (Saturday)."

He went on to add he is "now in good health," and continued: "Signed copies of the vinyl will be available at the House of Blues for those of you who still run upstairs whenever the doorbell rings (I certainly do.)

"Life begins again with full accompaniment from Jesse Tobias (guitar), Carmen Vandenberg (guitar), Camila Grey (keyboards), Solomon Walker (bass), and Matthew Walker (drums.)

"Expect a night of thrust and parry - no-show tunes. If you can find a decent pair of shoes, by all means come along.

"There is nothing quite like physical proximity, I am assured. If you would rather not come, then you are obviously one-half of a twin pair of parakeets.

"Some people sing, some poison the air. But if life is meaningless then why was there not always nothing?

"For those of you 85 and over who are still waiting for Bonfire Of Teenagers to be released, good news is finally within our grasp.

"Hopefully, I will smell you in Vegas - where the audiences always stay the same age ... are you in the mood?"

It comes after the rocker's tour manager Donnie Knutson announced some of Los Angeles shows had to be cancelled in January.

He revealed Morrissey was suffering from "physical exhaustion" in a post that read: "Morrissey is receiving medical supervision for physical exhaustion.

"He has been ordered to rest for two weeks and he will remain in Zurich."

The opinionated musician frequently speaks his mind and, earlier this year, launched a blustering take on modern-day attitudes.

The singer claimed outlets are trying to "delete" him from "being the central essence of The Smiths".

Morrissey's furious blog, published on January 11, came amid reports that questioned his role in getting The Smiths off its feet.

Clearly feeling the mixed reports have downplayed his part in the band's spot in music history, Morrissey shared a blog with the title: "Cancel culture begins at home."
