A Smiths Reunion? Morrissey Will Sing the Praises of Bacon and While Clubbing Baby Seals First

Let’s be clear.  This. Will. Never. Happen.  

But that doesn’t stop the Interwebs from occasionally losing its shit over the possibility of a Smiths reunion at least once a year.

Holy Moly, a British tabloid site, is the latest to spout this nonsense.  I cringe at giving them even more traffic, but I’ll quote them anyway.

We’ve now heard from several credible sources that The Smiths have agreed to reform in 2013 for four UK shows. And despite such rumours turning out to be total balls in the past, this one has enough weight to it that we’re prepared to call it confirmed, and hang the consequences.

What we learned before we stopped watching The Newsroom was that you have two sources before you run with a news story. And we’ve got more than that, so…

What we’re hearing is…. The Smiths will reform in 2013.

  • It’s a done deal.
  • Dates are booked.
  • Glastonbury is one of four dates, presumably the Saturday on the Pyramid stage.
I’ll believe this right after I see Morrissey eating a bacon sandwich made from a pig he killed using his own baby seal club.

  • It would be pretty fantastic though, wouldn't it?

    Maybe all of the adament denials have just been a ploy!
