Seventy five million times 'No': Moz won't reunite Smiths

Whoever thought of offering Morrissey $75million for fifty Smiths dates misjudged what Morrissey would really want.

Now, if they offered to take out Johnny Rogan, they might have been in business.

We know about the offer - alleged offer - because Morrissey issued a press release:

"In an effort to stop the speculation and kill off the rumor mongers who seem to use these things to take advantage of committed fans, we can tell you that one thing the future will not bring is a Smiths' reunion tour."

The motivation might have been less to quell the rumours and more to just show off the size of the offer, we suspect.
