Morrissey Criticizes Johnny Marr in Reunion Dispute

In a recent interview with Fiona Dodwell, Morrissey expressed his disappointment over the failed Smiths reunion tour, which was halted by his former bandmate Johnny Marr. He stated that he had agreed to the reunion as a way to thank fans, but emphasized that he has no emotional attachment to Marr, whom he criticized for using the band's legacy to gain media attention. Morrissey accused Marr of forcing fans to choose sides and described him as insecure, asserting that Marr's criticisms have persisted for over 30 years. The singer lamented the music industry for not releasing his recent albums and reiterated his views on cancel culture impacting his career. Marr, however, has denied Morrissey's claims, stating he simply rejected the reunion offer. The ongoing feud highlights the complexities of their relationship and the challenges of a potential reunion.
