So it's a Patrick Wolf finale, then, but (thankfully) not the one we'd dreaded. The magic dandy has added a special year-capping show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire December 20 to his tour itinerary that will be his last until the writing, recording, and release of his forthcoming follow-up to this spring's stellar Magic Position. The show will be a two-part affair: the first finding Patrick by his lonesome, and then, following a brief intermission, a Christmas party-slash-full band set. Dude could rock those elf ears like none other, don't you think?

There are plenty of opportunities to catch Patrick before then, too, as his North American tour winds to a close next week and he hits Australia, Japan, and the UK in November.
