All kinds of stories about The Smiths have being flying around the UK media recently.
Last week The Sun reported that the original four members of the gloomy, 1980's band were close to signing a deal that would see them performing at the Coachella festival in California next year - their first performance together in over 20 years. "It has looked impossible in the past, but suddenly it all looks like it could happen. The buzz around the people who used to work for the band is they could play Coachella for a ludicrous amount of money", was the actual quote attributed to a source apparently close to the band.
A week later those stories are looking like a cheap publicity stunt to help promote a new double-CD compilation spanning the band's career, The Sound Of The Smiths. Johnny Marr, the group's guitarist, has dismissed the idea as "rubbish" and the people at Coachella have also flatly denied it. The fact that Morrissey has previously stated he turned down $40 million for a reformation tour should also give you some idea of just how much the respective members like each other.
Maybe in another five years we'll have a different story. Oh, and in the meantime, Johnny Marr has started working as a music lecturer in the UK.
