When:
Short story:
Stephen Street, record producer for UK indie band The Smiths, receives a letter from their leader, Morrissey, stating that he is dissolving the group.Full article:
Johnny Marr (guitarist, The Smiths) : I think when something's over, events have a way of conspiring to make you realise that it's over. As cryptic as that sounds, it's true. Dramas would happen all the time, and it was fine for a long time. But then you get this cumulative effect, where you've got no other solution to the dramas other than, 'Well, there is, one option.' Gigs are blown out maybe, videos are blown out. You deal with it, but you start thinking, 'I can't be dealing with this shit for another five years.’
Things would happen on the road and I'd be like, ‘Am I going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life? Is this what's going to happen?' And it was a very, very emotional band. It's in the music. The relationship between me and Morrissey was very emotional. It wasn't volatile in that we would row, or anything like that, but it was so intense that if it rocked slightly it would be a big deal.
