Marr Turns Down “Eye-Watering” Smiths Offer
Johnny Marr has confirmed he turned down a mind‑blowing offer to reunite The Smiths, saying that although the money was “eye-watering,” the vibe just wasn’t right. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, he made it clear: principles mattered—and so did his current creative path .
Formed in 1982 with Morrissey, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce, The Smiths released Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead before disbanding in 1987 amid personal and creative differences. A reunion seemed virtually impossible—especially after Morrissey’s colorful statements about reforming—and Marr’s recent comments confirm why he’s happy to keep charting his own course .
Now 61 and still hungry to write the best song he’s ever written, Marr’s decision feels like a statement of self. For LFRP, this is more than music industry gossip—it’s a reminder that true art often means choosing quality, not quantity.
