Morrissey Blasts Johnny Marr Over BBC Smiths Documentary

In 2024, Morrissey complained that he was being erased from the Smiths' origin story, and now he's angry about it again. In a since-deleted Morrissey Central post titled "The Art Of Forgery," the singer said he was not invited to take part in the process of a forthcoming BBC Smiths documentary, and that it's critical of him while painting Johnny Marr, his longtime foe, as an "angel." In the lengthy screed, he says that Marr "has intentionally divided the Smiths audience into Marr or Morrissey factions."
