Full article:

Johnny Marr (guitarist, The Smiths) : We weren't really going anywhere with him. He wasn't going to add anything to the next lot of recording. That became obvious. There was no need for him to be there. I wasn't about to sit down with someone and say, 'Let's have a jam'. I sat down and wrote the songs with Morrissey: we had our system of working, and he wasn't going to fit in with it. He played on Panic and Ask - and I think that's maybe when we knew it wasn't going to work out, because he didn't do anything that I couldn't do myself.
