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
A deluxe boxset of their debut album and reissues of singles 'This Charming Man' and 'Hand In Glove' have also been "rejected and halted out of hand"
The titular track of his album criticises Oasis’s Don’t Look Back in Anger as an anthem of solidarity to mourn those lost in the Manchester Arena bombing
"It just wouldn’t be the same”
The singer claimed that the deal would have seen the pair tour together next year
"If Oasis can do it, The Smiths can too (I'm delusional)," a fan wrote on social media
