Are The Smiths reforming?

The SmithsThere’s lots of heat online today about The Smiths reforming this autumn for some one off shows. The source says:

“This announcement comes after a source revealed that the 80s icons had been in talks to perform with a well-known promoter. The decision was said to have been made after fellow Mancunians, The Stone Roses, gave in and reformed.”

Whether this is true or false remains to be cleared up by the Salford four piece. Regardless of internet chit chat, let us know your favourite Smiths tune in the coments below.

The Black Sabbath reunion news wasn’t true

The news of Black Sabbath reforming yesterday was unfortunately bullshit. A statement from guitarist Tony Iommi was released last night to put the fire out from the flames that drifted around the web yesterday due to a whistle blowing journalist from Birmingham.

I’m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion. At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, “Are you getting back together? Thanks to the internet it’s gone round the world as some sort of official statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he’s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won’t have another at my expense. To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.” – All the best, Tony
