Moz To Snub Hall Of Fame?

2007-04-21 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 9 Comments
Morrissey is still seething over a royalties dispute with Smiths drummer Mike Joyce, it seems.

It's widely expected that next year's wave of nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will feature The Smiths, however a report in Britain's Daily Express seems to rule out any form of reunion or performance at the event.

An "insider" is quoted: "Morrissey has never forgiven Joyce and if the organisers think he's going to bury the hatchet and join him to accept the award then they better think again. The only way he could be persuaded to turn up would be if Joyce decides not to attend."

The Hall requires all bands considered for induction to have at least twenty-five years of recording experience: The Smiths' debut single 'Hand In Glove' was released in 1983, followed by debut album The Smiths in February '84.

Morrissey is a very pretensious bloke so it seems likely he'll do this, does that mean they can't accept the award or does it have no effect?

They were never reaally friends. Mozza can't have friends. Sure, its dumb, but hes a genius, so in my eyes he can get away with a lot.

Actually, I take that back. Has been would imply he was good at one point.

That was uncalled for.

I agree with Zmev, this is just as stupid as Johnny Rotten snubbing the hall of fame.
