The Smiths Reunion – Doch kein Zusammenschluss der Band

The Smiths waren seinerzeit eine der englischen Indie-Rock-Band schlechthin und gehörten zu den Entwicklern des modernen Indie-Rock. The Smith lösten sich 1987 zur großen Enttäuschung der Fans auf worauf nun regelmäßig immer wieder Reuniongerüchte zu dieser Band auftauchen. Auch vor einigen Monaten kamen tauchten wieder einige Gerüchte auf, wonach sich die Band für ein Konzert wieder zusammenschließen würde.

Das erste Gerücht vom Boulevard-Blatt „The Sun“ besagt das The Smiths einen einmaligen Gig auf dem Coachella 2009 bestreiten würden:

IT’S the reunion no one thought was possible. But iconic Mancs THE SMITHS are “closer than ever” to setting aside their poisonous differences for a comeback. Sources close to the band believe they could headline California festival Coachella in a one-off show next April for a huge pay day.

Singer MORRISSEY turned down a £2.8million bid from the event organisers in 2006 but they will have massively upped the offer. Any deal would mark a remarkable turnaround. Veg-loving frontman Morrissey has repeatedly vowed to never again share a stage with his former bandmates, guitarist JOHNNY MARR, bassist ANDY ROURKE and drummer MIKE JOYCE.

A source revealed, however: “It has looked impossible in the past but suddenly it all looks like it could happen. “The buzz around the people who used to work for the band is they could play Coachella for a ludicrous amount of money. It’s closer than it ever has been. “The split was a messy affair, but time’s a healer.”

IRVING AZOFF is being credited with making the band reconsider their position on a comeback. Earlier this year Morrissey hired the former MCA records head — recognised as one of the most powerful figures in music — to manage him. I understand his involvement is playing a big part in tempting the band to hook up.

NME trug jedoch einige Fakten zusammen, die der Darstellung der Sun wiedersprechen:

The Smiths are not set to reunite despite reports, NME.COM understands.

Sources close to both members of the band and Coachella have denied that there has been any new move to reunite the group for next year’s festival.

A British newspaper had claimed The Smiths were considering burying the hatchet for next year’s event.

Meanwhile, the group’s guitarist Johnny Marr’s manager dismissed the story, telling our sister title Uncut that the Smiths reunion rumours were \”rubbish\”.

Morrissey has previously claimed he was offered a near £40 million for just him and Smiths guitarist Marr to reunite for the Californian event in 2006.
