The tour, which is expected to run into 2007, should touch down in the U.S. sometime next year.

"A Time to Love" was first scheduled to reach stores late last year.
Alanis Morissette will release a best-of set titled "The Collection" on Nov. 15.
Maverick Records will issue two versions of the album: one a single, enhanced CD containing 19 tracks; the other a two-disc package that includes an hour-long documentary DVD.
In addition to her well-known hits, the disc includes a handful of tracks that she has contributed to soundtracks over the years, as well as her cover of Seal's "Crazy."
The Grabs--a side-project of singer/songwriter Eleni Mandell, bassist Nigel Harrison (Blondie), guitarist Steven Gregoropolous (Wild Stares, W.A.C.O., Lavender Diamond) and drummer Elvira Gonzalez--drop an album titled "Sex, Fashion & Money" on Nov. 8.
The set was produced and recorded in six days by producer Sheldon Gomberg (Warren Zevon, Ryan Adams).
