The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has confessed that he regrets not remaining friends with his old bandmates, adding that he is only on speaking terms with bassist Andy Rourke nowadays.
Marr admitted that he finds it upsetting that none of the band have remained on speaking terms following their split in 1987, which is largely attributed to Marr's turbulent relationship with the band's frontman Morrissey.
Speaking to The AV Club, Marr said: I think it's sad that four guys who were so tight went through such bitterness, that was encouraged by the behaviour of some members of the band. I think the only regrettable thing is that as adults, only Andy and myself get together and give each other a hug and make fun of each other and like seeing each other.
He continued: To be honest, it's unfortunate that The Smiths don't have the relationship where they can sit around and even get complaints out, or philosophise. That's unfortunate for four adults who are always going to have a tie to each other.
The comments follow rumours of a possible Smiths reunion something which has been heavily denied by Johnny Marr.NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
