Rourke revealed the Williams collaboration during a Q&A session about the new Smiths documentary ’Inside The Smiths’ with band drummer Mike Joyce in London yesterday (July 19).

When asked about the possibility of a Smiths reunion Rourke optimistically offered: “Never say never,” despite the duo admitting that they had not spoken to Morrissey since the royalty court case in the early 1990s.
