Bands not reforming

Gilps · August 23, 2007

Bucking recent trends, from a statement about his current tour by thos who manage the Queen Mum of indie pop, Morrissey:

Finally, in an effort to stop the speculation and kill off the rumour mongers who seem to use these things to take advantage of committed fans, we can tell you that one thing the future will not bring is a Smiths reunion tour. Per recent reports, Morrissey was approached during the course of the summer by a consortium of promoters, in the wake of the success of the Police, U2 and Rolling Stones tours, with a $75,000,000 offer to tour in 2008 and/or 2009. The offer called for Morrissey to do a minimum of 50 shows all over the world under the Smiths' name, with the only proviso being that Johnny Marr was also in the band. The offer has been refused.

That's an awful lot of money to turn down. Fair play to them.
