Morrissey has spoken of his plans to record a new album, even though he does not currently have a record deal. The singer's last LP was 2006's 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors'.

He added: "I don't have a deal, but I have an offer from Warner Brothers."

However the star explained that he has been invited to play in some parts of the world that are new to him and would like to continue on the road. "As the same time, there are some great touring offers - New Zealand, South Africa, my beloved Scandinavia, Israel and Iran," he said. "I would love to sing in Tehran.
