Hope not

I hope so!
Probably the band I most regret never seeing live

 

[Johnny Vodka]

If you do see them live, it'll probably be in enormodomes. Would that suit their style?

i cant see it ever happening, for a variety of reasons, mainly moz's 'hatred' (dunno if as strong as it was), for mike joyce / andy rourke.

and personally, as much as i love the smiths / morrissey, i hope it never does, it would only take away from the legacy....

moz doesn't need the money and seems to be happy enough just touring about doing his solo thing anyway...although i think it wont be too long before he gives that up as well to be honest...im toying with idea of going to the manchester gig

When I (finally!) saw him a couple of years ago, a third of his set was Smiths songs. So he'd not turned his back on the past.

The animosity with Rourke & Joyce is an issue, of course.

Nope - don't believe it.

The band have denied the rumours. Means it's happening then. Who remembers “I will not desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop band....”
