Damien Rice To Tour In Support Of '9'

Damien Rice is scheduled to hit the road in December in support of his sophomore release, 9, due out November 14th, 2006.

Recorded throughout the last two years, 9 follows Rice’s 2003 debut, O, which garnered critical praise as well as commercial success, going Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in the U.K. Early reviews of 9 hail it as a fitting follow-up.
