Morrissey voiced his concerns over the apparent “waft of burning flesh” during Coachella, so the festival offered to go vegetarian for The Smiths reunion.

Said the outspoken singer to Australia’s Herald Sun, “…Interestingly the agents for Coachella offered a 100-per-cent vegetarian event for the following year if I would agree to headline with Johnny Marr as the Smiths. Fascinatingly they made it clear that they would ‘not require’ the Smiths’ bass player or drummer … which I thought certainly said something.”

When asked about a potential Smiths reunion back in 2006, Morrissey replied, “I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian.”
