In an interview with NME, Johnny Marr has said that he will reform the Smiths if the government calls a general election:
“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.”
Cameron’s love for the eighties alternative rockers has made political news before. The Prime Minister was goaded by both Marr and frontman Morrissey, and Marr forbade Cameron from liking the band.
Heavens knows, Dave will be miserable now.
