Morrissey snubs Hall Of Fame
Yahoo! Music, Apr 20, 2007 3:00 pm PDTMorrissey will snub the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008 because he doesn't want to share a stage with the Smiths, it has been claimed.
The indie legends are reported to be among the groups set for induction into the music pantheon next year in New York City.
However, the band's iconic former singer has apparently already ruled out attending the ceremony because of an ongoing rivalry with drummer Mike Joyce.
The Smiths were embroiled in an acrimonious lawsuit over royalties in 1996, and Morrissey has always spoken bitterly about his former bandmate.
"Morrissey has never forgiven Joyce and if organizers think he's going to bury the hatchet by joining him to accept this award, they've got another thing coming. The only way he could be persuaded to turn up would be if Joyce decides not to attend," a source explained.
The nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008 have yet to be announced.
