Morrison’s tour follows the release earlier this year of his 42nd studio album, Latest Record Project: Volume 1.
He and Eric Clapton recently released a duet version of a single, “The Rebels,” from Morrison’s new album.
Morrison has shined a bright light on the financial hardships endured by musicians during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
“Remember, those who are shutting down our economy haven’t missed a paycheck since lockdown began,” he tweeted in December. “We are not in this together.”
