GLEE star and Broadway veteran Matthew Morrison is very busy this spring, with his debut solo album that dropped May 10 and a national concert tour starting soon after. 

His CD debuted at number 24 on the Billboard chart, the LA Times reports. The recording, which precedes a summer tour launching from Minneapolis' Orpheum Theatre on June 18, marks Morrison's solo album debut.

Matthew Morrison was a part of the Lincoln Center Theater production of South Pacific. It was at Lincoln Center where he also created the role of Fabrizio in the musical The Light in the Piazza, for which he was also nominated for a Tony Award. His other Broadway credits include A Naked Girl on the Appian Way, Hairspray, The Rocky Horror Show and Footloose. He appeared off-Broadway last summer in the musical 10 Million Miles at the Atlantic Theatre Company. His TV and film credits include Dan In Real Life, Marci X, Primary Colors, Numb3rs, Ghost Whisperer, CSI:Miami, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Once Upon A Mattress.

Morrison currently stars on GLEE an uplifting series with biting humor that features a soundtrack of hit music from past to present.
