        His name is actually Solomon Snyder- he is Matt's brother- Matt has his mom's maiden name. Solomon most recently played for Five For Fighting and Jewel as well.

        Apparently Solomon is Matt's brother.

        Mikey Farrell might be busy with an ongoing project as per his website?:

        "Prior to 2004, I was the musical director/ keyboardist for Grammy winning Epic artist Macy Gray. We had the good fortune to open for David Bowie for 6 weeks at the end of 2003. I'm still collaborating with Macy as a writer and I contributed original material to Macy's February 2007 release, Big, produced by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. We also recently recorded original material for ABC's Desperate Housewives soundtrack and tracked the theme song to the Heather Graham sitcom Emilys Reasons Why Not. Occasionally I have the opportunity to play live gigs with Macy as well, although most of my energy since 2004 has been devoted to Morrissey."

                    Boz is the one true friend.

                      I saw Morrissey two times this year
                      After the last show in December i told a friend of mine that i'm afraid that this could be the last time.
                      And now, a show without Gary and Mikey.
                      In my opinon, Gary is one of the greatest bass players and he looked fantastic on stage
                      And Mikey is a genius to me.
                      What more can I say?
                      Lets hope both of them join the band again.

                      If the Setlist doesn't change it'll be a wonderful night in Pasadena.

                              If it's true that Gary is leaving, then it's a sad day, but people move on.

                              Aside from his hiatus in the 90s, Gary has been a very cool member of the band since Moz' electrified rockabilly rebirth and has lent a lot of street cred to the lineup until this day. Never one for words, it was funny to hear him speak for the first time in over a decade on a recent bootleg where Moz let the band intro themselves. A poster above mentioned Gary is married with a child on the way??

                              Mikey really helped bring the renditions of Smiths and Moz-solo classics to their full glory, as well as writing a great closer in At Last I Am Born and a barmy b-side with Sweetie Pie.

                              Best to them both, especially long timer Gaz.

                                          This is good news, really, but I still wonder why Morrissey nearly never comes over the northern part of United States. Was there some disagreable incident that happened in 2004 (last time he was in Boston) that turned him off? Or is it just strategy, or the weather (which is unusually nice this time of the year around this area)?

The very embodiment of English pop music is now for all intents and purposes, supported by a very middle of the road, American easy-listening band. Look who these guys have played with? Sara McLachlan, Five for Fighting? among others. It was bad enough that Mikey was involved with the crap music of Macy Gray and that no-talent black eyed peas guy. Anyone else a little bit worried about the man's potential to become Morrissey-Lite?

The last time he dropped Gary, in 1994, Mr Day went round to Morrissey's house in the dead of night and carved the words 'DIE WANKER' on his front door. Morrissey's Primrose Hill neighbours weren't best pleased.
