Johnny Marr: 'Will The Smiths reform? I've answered that nearly 900 different ways'
Johnny Marr believes he's come up with nearly 900 different answers to his most asked question: "Are The Smiths going to reform?"
Speaking in our brand new issue, Q320 out now, the guitarist who is just about to release his first solo album, The Messenger, says he is nearly always asked about his former band by interviewers.
"I think the total number of different answers I've given is 896. It's going to be a university module in its own right one day," Marr jokes in his Cash For Questions interview.
"I'm nearly always asked that [reunion] question in the same way, which is: Sorry I have to ask you this questions, I really have to, my editor will kill me if I don't, I'm sure you must be asked..."
Grab the new issue Q for the full interview with Marr to see if any of you dared ask him the same question, plus find out what Morrissey's teenage bedroom smelt like, whether Electronic will reunite, if he'd give up his music success to play for his beloved Manchester City and more.

Johnny Marr lives ''in pursuit'' of a songwriting relationship like the one he had with Morrissey.
The guitarist was a key member of 80s indie band The Smiths with Morrissey, and although they parted ways in 1987, he would still like to find another person who can write songs like him.
Talking about Morrissey he said: ''It was pretty apparent that he wasn't a blank canvas in terms of his ideas about being a singer. He was good to go and knew what he was about and where he wanted to go. It definitely felt like two equals. [In The Smiths] we were falling over ourselves with ideas that we were constantly amassing, and that's the greatest thing in the world. It's still what I'm trying to live my life in pursuit of, really.
''To find your opposite number who is up to speed was pretty remarkable.''
Johnny also hopes The Smiths' lost demos for their first album, known as the Troy Tate Sessions, are eventually released.
He added to Q magazine: ''I really hope they do because they are a true representation of what the band really were for the first year or more of our career.
''I heard the Try Tate album in somebody's car a few years ago and I just thought 'What a peculiar group'. Strange things to be singing about and in a strange way. And I was in it!''
Nice.
