has told fans that the need to stop believing that “their life will be complete “if a Smiths reunion happened.
The guitarist, who was recently named a Godlike Genius by NME, said a Smiths reunion doesn’t need to happen for everything to be okay.
Speaking with NPR.org, Marr was asked about being bombarded by questions from fans and interviewers about whether he and Morrissey will ever bring The Smiths back together again.
“{Fans} hope there will be some big happy ending. The fact it, there is a happy ending – I’m happy. It’s all cool. It’s slightly difficult when people assume that your life will be complete, or everybody’s life will be complete, if this band from 25 years ago reforms.”
Marr went on to say that fans looking for positive enlightenment should look elsewhere.
“Life doesn’t need that [a Smiths reunion] to happen to be okay,” he said.
He added at that fans show “go see the Dalai Lama or something that’ll make you feel better.”
