Smiths Reunion Rumored at Morrissey's Jones Hall Show
By Chris Gray in This Just In

Excerpt:

Strangeways, here they come: Rocks Off has learned that former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has requested passes for his ex-bandmate Morrissey's sold-out April 11 show at Jones Hall, leading to speculation that the two will perform onstage together for the first time since the influential Manchester band's acrimonious 1987 split.

Years of Refusal dropped to #191 on the Top 200 with 2,932 copies sold last week & a release-to-date total of 57,478.

This number includes CD/LP and digital sales. Assuming his tour manager sends in venue sales as well, it also includes all CD and LP sales made on the road.

I'd like think what we did was... pave a little pathway with bands like ourselves, the Cure, The Smiths... saying 'anybody can do this, you don't have to be on MTV'.

Harry Hill sang 'Throwing My Arms Around Paris' on TV Burp. An irreverent joke relating to the end of the awful Paris Hilton British Best Friend TV show.

Ian Beale also writes:
On Harry Hill's TV Burp on Saturday 28th March, Harry sang "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" at the end of the show in an exaggerated style of Morrissey, supposedly lamenting the end of the series Paris Hilton's British Best Friend.

Hill is known to be a Morrissey fan, and was interviewed briefly in the Channel 4 documentary The Importance of Being Morrissey, and also sang "This Charming Man" on Stars In Their Eyes a few years ago.
