Morrissey has announced he’ll re-release 1991 record Kill Uncle and 1989 single ‘The Last of the Famous International Playboys’ this April.
The re-issue follows on from the former Smiths frontman’s similar re-distribution of Viva Hate, his debut solo effort, last year.
Kill Uncle was Morrissey’s second solo album, while ’The Last of the Famous International Playboys’ preceded it as his third single released on his lonesome.
The latter single will be backed by new tracks recorded with the BBC in 2011. Watch the track’s video below.
Morrissey recently had to cancel live shows due to a bleeding ulcer.
