The former The Smiths star is heading Down Under next month (May15) to perform four concerts at the Sydney Opera House, and he has announced he will sign copies of his hit memoir Autobiography ahead of the shows.

He turns 56 on 22 May (15) and has arranged the event to coincide with his birthday.

A statement from the star reads, "Prior to his four sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, Morrissey will undertake a book-signing on Friday 22 May in Sydney. Morrissey will sign copies of his Autobiography, first published in 2013 by Penguin Classics. Book store location will be announced shortly."
