Morrissey does not think a reunion of The Smiths would "make sense".
The singer-songwriter enjoyed critical acclaim alongside Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce in the 1980s, but after subsequently finding success as a solo artist, Morrissey does not wish to reunite with the band.
He said: "It’s no longer a question of time or wounds, but simply that the issue is now so remote that the question doesn’t make sense any more."
The 57-year-old star also hit out at the lack of support the 30th anniversary of the Smith’s ‘The Queen is Dead’ has received from their record label.
He told news.com.au: "People want new vinyl now, they do not want the old originals. Physicals were only ever removed at the wish of the major labels … who didn’t want stock clogging up their offices and hallways."
The outspoken singer also accused labels of not giving music fans what they actually want.
He explained: "People still want to go into shops to buy LPs and even 7-inch discs, but it doesn’t suit the labels whereas streaming does … and consequently music bought with no effort has resulted in meaningless music charts."
