Morrissey rules out Smiths reunion again, says Beatles only had “four good songs”

With a new solo album coming, you’d think all talk surrounding Morrissey would be solely focused on that. But, much to the singer’s own dismay, nostalgia strikes again.

“I don’t know a single person who wants a Smiths reunion!” Moz told Billboard recently when pressed on the subject. ”There aren’t any bands I like to see again because your memory of them is how they were in their prime or at their best or at their most desperate, and you look to them to be someone that they no longer are.”

He also took the time to offer his own thoughts on the 50 year anniversary of The Beatles’ first U.S TV performance, saying: “I thought four of their songs were magnificent, and if a band can give you four magnificent songs then that’s good enough for me. But was I ever influenced by the Beatles? No.”

Morrissey is currently in France recording his new record. He will tour North America later this year, including shows with Tom Jones and Cliff Richard.
