The New Music Express has taken a quote from an interview with The Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr—“‘The Smiths might reform’”—to bait its readers into thinking there is a future reunion in store for the much beloved Mancunian quartet. What Marr actually goes on to say in the interview gives up the ruse: "Stranger things have happened so, you know, who knows?" Gotcha, NME.
Of course that the staunch vegetarian Morrissey has stated he’d rather “eat my testicles than re-form The Smiths” and has turned down $75 million dollar offers to tour with his old bandmates did not factor into their decision to go with this farce. Jeez.
