The Smiths: A Reunion on the Rocks?

Morrissey, the lead singer of the iconic British band The Smiths, has claimed that a 2025 reunion deal was on the table for the group, but guitarist Johnny Marr did not acknowledge the offer. In a statement posted on his website, Morrissey revealed that AEG Entertainment Group made a lucrative offer to both him and Marr to tour worldwide as The Smiths throughout 2025. However, Marr ignored the offer, leaving Morrissey to wonder if the reunion will ever happen.

A History of Tension

The Smiths broke up in 1987, and since then, Morrissey and Marr have hardly spoken. The two musicians have pursued their own solo projects, with Morrissey releasing several albums and Marr collaborating with other artists. Despite occasional rumors of a reunion, the two have repeatedly dismissed the idea, with Marr stating that he has no interest in reviving the band.

A Comparison to Oasis

The news of a potential Smiths reunion comes on the heels of another beloved British band, Oasis, announcing their reunion for a series of 2025 concerts. Like Morrissey and Marr, Oasis’s Noel and Liam Gallagher have had a tumultuous relationship, with the two brothers frequently feuding in the press. Despite their differences, the Gallagher brothers have managed to put aside their differences and reunite for a series of concerts. Could Morrissey and Marr follow suit?

Morrissey’s Statement

In his statement, Morrissey noted that he had accepted the offer to reunite with Marr, but the guitarist ignored the proposal. Morrissey’s statement also touched on his ongoing tour of the United States, which has been largely sold out. Marr, on the other hand, continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.

Fans Weigh In

Online, fans have been weighing in on the potential reunion, with some expressing optimism that the two musicians can put aside their differences and reunite. One fan wrote, "If Oasis can do it, the Smiths can too (I’m delusional)," to which Marr replied with a photo of Nigel Farage, a reference to Morrissey’s support of the far-right British politician.

Why a Reunion Might Not Happen

Despite Morrissey’s claims, a reunion between the two musicians seems unlikely. Marr has repeatedly dismissed the idea of a reunion, and Morrissey’s statement seems to be more of a plea to the guitarist to reconsider. Additionally, the two musicians have been on bad terms for years, with Morrissey frequently criticizing Marr in the press.

Conclusion

The potential reunion of The Smiths is a tantalizing prospect for fans of the band. However, with Morrissey and Marr’s long-standing feud and lack of communication, it seems unlikely that the reunion will happen anytime soon. Despite this, fans will continue to hold out hope that the two musicians can put aside their differences and reunite for one final tour.
