The Smiths Began Suing One Another
While The Smiths were an undoubtedly successful band, the beef behind the scenes between members began to form cracks. Johnny Marr could no longer find the energy in June 1987 and had to go on a sabbatical, something that he believed was scrutinized by his fellow members. Marr would take off after he wrongly believed that an NME article called “Smiths to Split” had been conspiratorially created by Morrissey. Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce would end up suing both Marr and Morrissey following their departures due to their petty royalty sum that was left for them.
