When former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr's new band, The Healers were scheduled to perform at an event planned by former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke, the rumors of a Smiths reunion started to fly.
But according to Marr via his official website
THE SMITHS WILL NOT BE RE-FORMING AT THIS CONCERT.
BUT... Marr did announce that The Healers second album is currently in the works, and a tentative spring 2006 release is set; and Morrissey's Ringleader Of The Tormentors should also see a release soon. So if you play both Marr and Morrissey's album at the same time in the same room, it's almost like a new Smiths album. (And I think that is the best we're ever going to get.)
