At some point a Smiths meeting was possible. We knew when the Oasis meeting was announced. To our surprise, it was Johnny Marr the most reluctant, given the political drift of Morrissey, who was the group singer. Since then, both have been faced by the brand control.
Now Morrissey has exploded on social networks, ensuring that he puts on sale everything that has to do with the Smiths and corresponds to him. That includes the name “The Smiths” created by Morrissey, all the designs devised by Morrissey, the rights of merchandising, all the songs both in terms of lyrics and in terms of music, the rights of syncro, the recordings and the editing rights. It is unknown what percentage of all this belongs to you.
In an Instagram post he explains that he is exhausted to have to deal with his teammates, and that one of them is dead, Andy Rourke: «I am exhausted to have any type of connection with Marr, Rourke, Joyce. I’m fed up with malicious associations. With all my life I have paid what corresponds to me for these songs and images. Now I would like to live disconnected from those who only want evil and destruction, and this is the only solution. The songs are me, they are nobody else, but they bring commercial communications that strive to the fullest to create fear and resent year after year. Now I must protect myself, especially for my health.
