I was the one that
originally submitted this rumor. The same friend (again, from deep within the Coachella circle) has updated me stating that he now has received a confirmation from a legitimate source that the offer was made (to headline Sunday for $8mil) AND that the holdup of the Smiths accepting at this point is, of course, our man Morrissey. This is the reason for Goldenvoice's continued holding pattern.
Sounds like it is in his hands now - to forgive and forget, to negotiate a reunion sans certain members, or to decline yet again. No idea if this is a single event offer, a tour, or something else. Shouldn't be long now (Tuesday, I believe) before we all know the truth or fiction of this...
