Tom Waits teases live shows?

The singer releases a pirate themed picture fuelling tour speculation

Earlier today Tom Waits released a cryptic picture, fuelling speculation that he is set to announce live shows, possibly of port cities or even aboard a boat.

The photo, pictured above and entitled Permission To Come Aboard?, sees Waits dressed as a cigar chomping pirate – complete with cutlass and eye patch – above the date August 7, on which a full announcement is expected to be made.

The eccentric singer-songwriter last toured in 2008, with the Glitter And Doom Tour, which comprised 13 shows in the United States and 15 in Europe, including two shows in Edinburgh.
