[Updated with ticket information 2 p.m. April 6]

Could it be that Morrissey might actually play a show in Atlanta?
The notoriously fickle Brit canceled his past four appearances here – although to be fair, he wound up canceling his entire tour last summer due to illness that he at first, oddly, sort of blamed on his tour opener. Then in an October interview with The Guardian , he mentioned having undergone several cancer-related treatments.
But, after returning to live performances last fall in Europe, the former Smiths frontman has now unveiled a slate of U.S. dates via the site True to You , including 8 p.m. June 13 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Amanda Palmer will open the show.
Tickets for the show at $39.50-$89.50 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 10 at the venue box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com and by calling 1-800-745-3000.
