(Gibson) Fresh from celebrating Manchester City's FA Cup win (Marr is a huge fan of the premier league soccer team), Johnny Marr, the former Smiths guitarist and songwriter, has announced plans to kick off a world tour in New York in October. According to Billboard, Marr also is set to put out new material with his band The Healers in 2012.
