Johnny Marr: Hanging Out With Morrissey Again Was Pretty Funny

Johnny Marr has revealed that he and former Smiths bandmate Morrissey spent time together a couple of years ago.

In an interview with The Sun, the guitarist said he was still in contact with both Morrissey and Andy Rourke, despite walking out on the group in 1987.

"I last saw Morrissey a couple of years ago and we hung out for an afternoon and it was pretty funny,” Marr said.

The guitarist also revealed that he planned to do some recording with Rourke shortly.

"I'm going to be hanging out with and maybe playing with Andy soon and then getting an email now and then off Mozza is nice,” he said.

“People think The Smiths are bad news, especially when we split, but it's not. The Smiths were bloody brilliant and I'm eternally proud of that."

Marr is currently promoting the re-issuing of the band's albums.
