The frontman tells NME about the iconic bassist's spirit and final days, and what it meant to record a song with Johnny Marr

"The club is facing a financial crisis and needs to raise £250,000 by the end of November to survive"
The drummer shares his thoughts on the “unsavoury” recent back-and-forth between Morrissey and Marr, his highlights of his time with The Smiths, the chances of a reunion, and the sparkling humour of the late Andy Rourke
He had also previously claimed that Marr now owns "100 per cent trademark rights" to The Smiths' name, and that Marr had blocked a 'Greatest Hits' album from release
"I didn't ignore the offer - I said no"
He claims the action was done “without any consultation” and “also prohibits Morrissey from using the name”
The KISS vocalist and bassist weighed in on Marr ignoring a lucrative offer for a potential reunion and blocking the release of a greatest hits album
