Edwyn Collins Announces Tour Dates for November

Edwyn Collins has announced he'll be hitting the road in November for a national tour. The six-date jaunt kicks off on Nov. 5 in Oxford before winding up in Birmingham on Nov. 15, the NME reports.

Collins, who was forced to take a prolonged sabbatical after suffering two brain haemorrhages in 2005, will be promoting his new solo album 'Losing Sleep'.

Due for release on Sept. 13, the album features a wealth of collaborations from some of the indie scene's leading lights. Members of the Cribs, Franz Ferdinand, the Drums and Magic Numbers are among those who shared writing duties on the record.
