Mike Joyce, former drummer for The Smiths, still believes the band could reunite.
Joyce told The Sun: "I actually had a dream that Morrissey, Johnny, Andy and me were all in the same room and we actually agreed to do a tour. Morrissey said, 'What song shall we open with?', and we replied in unison, ‘Hand In Glove’. That’s what the show should open with. Then I woke up laughing."
"It would sound great. I’m a better player than I was. Morrissey’s voice is still incredible, Johnny is playing great. With the equipment and PA systems 30 years on, if we got up on stage and played, it would sound incredible. A promoter asked me, ‘Why don’t you just do it — it would make millions of people happy?’ I said, ‘You’re asking the wrong man.'"
"I don’t think about it every day. But if they asked me, I’d probably say yes. If you put everyone in the same room it’s amazing how things can turn around.” He added.
The Smiths ended abruptly in 1987 shortly after Johnny Marr announced he was quitting the band at the height of their powers. In 1989 Mike Joyce sued his former bandmates Morrissey and Johnny Marr over missing royalties.
