The Smiths reunion rumors picked up after Morrissey admitted to an Australian publication that organizers of the annual Coachella festival offered to serve only vegetarian food throughout the event in order to coax him and guitarist Johnny Marr to patch things up. Rolling Stone reports:

"The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite – ever," Morrissey's publicist tells Rolling Stone, in reaction to the latest rumors claiming otherwise.

The English group, fronted by the enigmatic and outspoken singer, disbanded 25 years ago and have been the subject of reunion rumors ever since. Most recently, in a widely circulated exchange with Australia's Herald Sun, Morrissey reportedly claimed that Coachella organizers "offered a 100-percent vegetarian event for the following year if I would agree to headline with Johnny Marr as the Smiths."

Asked why the group will "never" reunite, the singer's rep says, "You'd have to ask Morrissey that. There's got to be a story there, and maybe one day it will be told."

Guitarist Johnny Marr also rejected the notion via his manager, who told NME that a reunion would not happen. Earlier this year, Marr helped remaster the Smiths catalog without participation from Morrissey, drummer Mike Joyce and bassist Andy Rourke. "Nothing really gets off the ground just purely because of money," Marr told Rolling Stone then, when asked about the possibility of a reunion. "Certainly, as I see it, so many other things would have to be fixed and we're just too different to get them fixed, it appears."
