The singer of the British band stated on his website that he has received a “lucrative” invitation for a tour in 2025
After the Oasis return announcementrequests for return of the The Smithsa very unlikely meeting to happen. However, Morrisseysinger of the British group created and disbanded in the 80s, said he would accept to play again with Johnny Marrguitarist of the band with which he broke up.
On his website, Morrissey said he received a “lucrative offer” in June for the two to reunite on a world tour as The Smiths through 2025. The text says he accepted, but that “Marr ignored the offer.” He also teases his former bandmate by saying that while Morrissey is on a sold-out US tour in November, the guitarist is guesting on a special tour of New order.
The Smiths issue goes beyond their split in the 1980s. Since then, the band has not reunited to play, unlike many others who have at least participated in reunion tours. In addition to the falling out between the singer and guitarist, a reunion of the original lineup of the group is impossible, as bassist Andy Rourke died in 2023.
Marr also has a very clear opinion on his former colleague. Denying the band’s insistence on a comeback, the bassist has only posted one image on his X account (formerly Twitter): a photo of the right-wing British politician Nigel Farage.
The answer is a reference to Morrissey’s political stance, which Marr disagrees with. Nigel gained prominence in the political world with his stance in favor of Brexit, the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, which finally took place in January 2020.
