Matthew Morrison planning solo world tour

Matthew Morrison is planning a solo world tour. The Glee actor — who will not be joining his costars for a series of European concert dates next year  — is hoping to play shows across the globe in support of his debut solo album.

“I go right into rehearsals after Christmas,” he said.

“This is the only time I have off, really, so that’s why we’re kinda getting it in now. When Glee goes on hiatus in April, I’m gonna start doing a big tour.”

Earlier this year, Matthew’s Glee character, teacher Will Schuester, performed three songs with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was making a guest appearance.

The blonde star recently revealed she is to reprise her role as substitute teacher Holly Holiday next year and Jane Lynch — who portrays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester — can’t wait for her to return.

“I thought she did such a great job in that episode,” Jane said.

“We worked her so hard and she sang and danced and she was in like 150 numbers and I thought, we’ll never see her again. But she’s coming back, she wants more. She’s wonderful and I hope we get more scenes together.”

And though their characters might seem like polar opposites, Jane hints they could actually bond over a thing or two.

“Sue and Gwyneth’s character [Holly Holliday] definitely have different approaches at getting the students to respect them, but I think deep down Sue wants the same thing — she wants the kids to love her. She even said that to Will, she said, ‘Your kids love you, I don’t have that. They fear me.’ And I guess it’s her own fault,” she said.
