He refuses to share a stage with The Smiths

Morrissey has allegedly snubbed the US Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008 because he refuses to share a stage with his former bandmates in The Smiths.

The band are reportedly amongst the groups set for induction into the music pantheon next year in New York City.

However, Morrissey refuses to share a stage with drummer Mike Joyce.

The two were embroiled in an acrimonious lawsuit over royalties in 1996 and allegedly Morrissey has never forgiven the drummer, Yahoo News reports.
