Johnny Marr says Smiths fans who want a reunion need to “get a hobby”
Like clockwork, specifically when festival season is upon us, new rumours resurface about a potential The Smiths reunion. But, as ever, the group’s original guitarist Johnny Marr remains the first to dispel such claims.
“If people get genuinely upset and frustrated that four men that last played together 25 years ago are doing other things, then those people need to go and find a hobby,” Marr recently told The Japan Times.
“If the band only split up two years ago it might be a different matter, but 25 years? Come on. It’s a long time. If you like the Smiths, the records, photographs and memories are all plenty to be getting along with.”
Marr recently released a solo album earlier this year in the form of The Messenger.
