Morrissey has signed a new record deal and will begin work on a new solo album in February in France.
The record will be made with producer Joe Chiccarelli and is the first solo work from the singer songwriter since 2009's Years Of Refusal.
Harvest Records will release the forthcoming LP and tour dates across 2014 are expected to be announced soon.
Morrissey is believed to be ‘thrilled’ with the news of the deal.
Steve Barnett, Capitol Music Group chairman and chief executive officer, said: ‘Morrissey is clearly one of music's most important and influential artists. He is the rare soul who has stayed consistently true to his artistic vision and ethical principles since he first exploded onto the scene in the 1980s.
‘We are so happy that he has chosen Capitol Music Group as his home and that his forthcoming album on Harvest will bring new Morrissey music to the world.’
The news accompanies recent activity by Morrissey in the literary world with the publication of recent Autobiography.
The book was one of the fastest-selling memoirs in the UK upon its release in October and set first-week sales records when it entered the UK charts at the top spot.
