SO, THAT'S STILL A PRETTY SEVERED ALLIANCE

There's often rumours about a Smiths reunion, but if and when it happens the chances of Mozzer persuading Marr to do a few of his solo numbers seems slim: Marr doesn't rate Morrissey's solo business:

The guitarist, who walked out on the legendary British band in 1986 after a bust-up with the singer, insists he isn't interested in Morrissey's new material because he has lost his creative spark.

He added: "I always think I'll probably know what they'll all sound like - and when I get around to hearing them, I'm usually right."

To be fair, though, Marr's kids don't much like what he does, so perhaps Morrissey should just tour with them.
