Life after Marriage.
"Six creative partnerships that at some stage all hit the rocks. But which one's winning in the perilous world of The Solo Career?"

Morrissey (49)
"The dominant half of the greatest rock marriage of our times, Morrissey was closer to his mother than his father and took prescription drugs for depression during his adolescence.In Johnny Marr he found someone-perhaps the only person-whose gift for melody and harmony could match his own brilliantly arresting songs lyrics. After huge success-their studio albums'peak chart positions were 2,1,2 and 2-Marr left, unable to deal with the stress and strain of the relationship any longer.In a 20-year solo career, including four years (1999-2003) without a record contract and characterised by an intense, combative relationship with fans and media alike, no Morrissey solo record has ever charted lower than 8. Neither he nor his former collaborator have ever seriously damaged their legacy, neither will ever run out of cash and both have devoutly loyal supporters who don't expect- or possibly even want The Smiths to reform. The perfect divorce.Morrissey's new album, Years Of Refusal, is out early in september." (ahem)
Score:9

Johnny Marr(44)
"Johnny Marr wrote-and went on to perfect-the golden rules for departing super-guitarists when he left The Smiths.First up was Electronic, his three-way collaboration with Neil Tennant and Bernard Summer.Huge hits followed.He joined The The to record Mind Bomb (quite possibly their best album) and variously wrote, recorded and toured with The Pretenders, Billy Bragg, Talking Heads, Oasis, Bryan Ferry and Beck. Then there was Johnny Marr and The Healers, the band he formed with Zak Starkey. Since 2006 Marr has been a full-time member of Modest Mouse, even moving to Portland, Oregon to work on the writing and recording of the band's fifth album, "We were dead before the ship even sank". Interestingly, he has recently joined Yorkshire band The Cribs after enjoying touring with them earlier this year, though no relocation to Wakefield has yet been announced. And just in case he gets bored, a new Healers album is "pretty much done". When, we wonder, does he sleep?"
