Morrissey Addresses The Smiths’ Failed Reunion Tour: ‘The Last Time Such a Thing Would Be Possible’

"It wasn’t because I had any emotional attachment to Marr," Morrissey said of his former bandmate. "I have absolutely none.”

Reports of multi-million dollar offers also emerged, while guitarist Johnny Marr and bassist Andy Rourke would perform together on occasion, effectively giving fans the closest they could ever get to a fabled reunion. Now a rare interview with Morrissey, the singer has addressed the recent happenings within the band, specifically touching on why he had reportedly experienced such a change of heart and expressed a desire to again perform with Marr once more. “ Bonfire of Teenagers is the modern version of [The Smiths’ 1986 album] The Queen is Dead, but the fact that no label will release it is an indication of how childlike and frightened the music industry has become,” he later added.
