In June 2024 AEG Entertainment Group made a lucrative offer to both Morrissey and Marr to tour worldwide as 'The Smiths' throughout 2025.
Morrissey said Yes to the offer; Marr ignored the offer.

Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November.
Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.

he could’ve done both.

Yes, he could have done.

But it's possible he thought he didn't need to at that point in time. With good money flowing and people merrily staying alive, it maybe didn't appeal or make sense in the same way as it does now.
 
I wonder if they were to tour, when Morrissey inevitably cancels a scheduled performance(s), would Johnny go on by himself?
 
"Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November.​

Has anyone else found that literally NONE of Morrissey's upcoming gigs appear to be "sold out"?

Didn't expect him to be so self-aggrandising:smirk:

That's another thing, Morrissey had to have known that Andy had pancreatic cancer which is almost always fatal in a few years. Someone in their circle told me years ago and I'm just a fan, so he must have known yet nothing was done. I'll bet Johnny would have done it for Andy.

It's all a lie!
 
Thank you. Johnny sounds really upbeat and decent.

One day in September 2008 we were only a couple of miles apart in south Manchester and arranged to meet up in a pub nearby. I was happy to see him – it was 10 years or more since we’d last met. We caught up with personal news and family and reminisced a bit.”

Then our conversation turned to deeper things. Morrissey started to talk about how our relationship had become owned by the outside world, usually in a negative way. We had been defined by each other in most areas of our professional life. I appreciated him mentioning it, because it was true.”

“The drinks kept coming and we sat talking for hours. We chatted, as we always did, about the records we loved, and eventually we moved on to “that subject”. There had been rumours for years that The Smiths were about to re-form, and they were always untrue. I had never pursued any offer.”

“Suddenly we were talking about the possibility of the band reforming, and in that moment it seemed that with the right intention it could actually be done and might even be great. I would still work with the Cribs on our album, and Morrissey also had an album due out. We hung out for a while longer, and after even more orange juice (for me) and even more beer (for him) we hugged and said our goodbyes.”

“I was genuinely pleased to be back in touch with Morrissey, and The Cribs and I talked about the possibility of me playing some shows with The Smiths. For four days it was a very real prospect. We would have to get someone new on drums [original drummer Mike Joyce sued Morrissey and Marr over royalties in 1996], but if The Smiths wanted to re-form it would make a hell of a lot of people very happy, and with all our experience we might even be better than before.”


I wonder why he’s changed so much since then.
