Multiple websites are suggesting that Morrissey and company will reform THE SMITHS, who called it quits back in 1987, for at least some shows, including next year’s Glastonbury Festival.
UPDATE – Johnny Marr’s manager, Joe Moss, has denied any truth in the latest Smiths reunion rumours, telling NME: “It isn’t happening. We are fully focused on preparing Johnny’s new album for release and booking shows for 2013.” Go here to read more.
From a press release:
We’ve now heard from several credible sources that The Smiths have agreed to reform in 2013 for four UK shows. And despite such rumours turning out to be total balls in the past, this one has enough weight to it that we’re prepared to call it confirmed, and hang the consequences.
What we learned before we stopped watching The Newsroom was that you have two sources before you run with a news story. And we’ve got more than that, so…
What we’re hearing is…. The Smiths will reform in 2013.
- It’s a done deal.
- Dates are booked.
- Glastonbury is one of four dates, presumably the Saturday on the Pyramid stage.
