Morrissey has announced three lives shows in 2009-one at the London Royal Albert Hall on May 11, and then two at the Manchester Apollo on May 22 and 23.

May 22nd marks the 50th anniversary of the great man's birth, and as Manchester is the Moz's hometown, it should prove to be one of those "once in a lifetime" evenings.

The shows will promote his new album, Years of Refusal, which is set to come out on February 16th. How much do you want to wager on him playing "Unhappy Birthday"? I would say the odds are pretty damn good. [NME]
