The guitarist won't rule out reunion

Johnny Marr has said that The Smiths may reform.

Different members of the band have ruled out offers of reuniting over the years, with Morrissey most recently revealing that he turned down a near £40 million offer to tour again.

However, Marr has told BBC Five Live’s Victoria Derbyshire that “stranger things have happened so, you know, who knows?"

He added: "It's no biggy. Maybe we will in 10 or 15 years time when we all need to for whatever reasons, but right now Morrissey is doing his thing and I’m doing mine, so that’s the answer really."

I am living in hope that this will happen, i'd love them to reform, preferably not in 15 years time though, that is way too long for all of us!

It'll definitely happen. It'll be announced Autumn 2008 and they'll headline Coachella. I'm convinced
