Justin Hawkins YT: "The Rick Astley Interview" - Morrissey/Smiths mentions (January 29, 2024)

Not sure if posted already, nice little chat about The Smiths, Glastonbury, etc. (~40:55 - 50:15)

Well, if Morrissey doesn't like it, then I guess don't die. Pretty simple.

Btw, "pine wooden box" is redundant as hell.

I'm sure he's lovely - etc etc - but when will this end? Morrissey is the lead singer of the Smiths.

The times they are a changing. I would pay to see Rick Astley front the remaining Smiths, sans Morrissey. It would be fun!

No, I wouldn't.

I think it's disrespectful to push an artist out of their own work - even if they've fallen into scandal.

It's also giving the scandal a platform.

Steve Perry was pushed out of his own work, he wanted to carry on and was fired so how Journey handled that situation is a disgrace--as much as I don't like the music of Journey. The same cannot be said about Morrissey. He refuses to have The Smiths play their music live so he's given us no alternative. Morrissey said so himself, Without The Music Of The Smiths, The World Dies.

Ultravox are also touring without Midge Ure.
But with Andy gone the chances of Mike and Johnny getting back together and asking another singer are below zero percent.

Johnny's never suggested getting a Smiths type thing together so not sure why anyones even talking about it.
