Morrissey has explained why he wanted The Smiths to reunite for a live tour, claiming that it wasn’t to do with “any emotional attachment” he has to his former bandmate Johnny Marr.Over the summer, the former frontman of the iconic Manchester group said he had agreed to a “lucrative” 2025 Smiths tour – but alleged that Marr “ignored” the offer.Later, a representative from the guitarist’s management team called Morrissey’s comment “incorrect” in a statement on X/Twitter. “I didn’t ignore the offer – I said no,” Marr wrote in his own message.During a new rare interview with Medium, Morrissey was asked if he was “really keen on sharing a stage” with Marr again, given the pair’s ongoing feud.“I agreed because it felt like the last time such a thing would be possible,” he told the online outlet.“We’ve all begun to grow old.
