Johnny Marr - Johnny Marr Says Smiths Reunion Hinges On David Cameron

Marr made the initial comments earlier this week when picking up the award for Best Re-issues at the Nme Awards for their 'Complete' box set. He commented "We won't be reforming this week. Maybe if the government stepped down. If this government stepped down, I'll reform the band. How's that? That's a fair trade, isn't it? I think the country would be better off, don't you? I'll do it if the coalition steps down." Marr's tongue may well have been in cheek, but Prescott evidently took it seriously enough, following his previous tweet with "Please reform cosheavenknowsweremiserablenow," in another witty reference to another Smiths song.
