Still no news about the mythical reunion of The Smiths but at least legendary Brit-rock icon Johnny Marr will still be coming to Singapore in Feb. 9 for his first ever concert here.
The former Smiths guitarist is set to perform at the University Cultural Centre Hall at the National University of Singapore, thanks to LAMC Productions (who also brought in Marr’s archenemy and former bandmate Morissey two years ago).
A very accomplished singer/songwriter in his own right, Marr has not only be considered one of the most influential figures coming out from 80’s, but continued to evolve as a musician throughout the years. His departure from The Smiths allowed him to explore numerous avenues of music, playing alongside the likes of Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Pet Shop Boys, Oasis, Modest Mouse, The Cribs — but never staying as a permanent member anywhere.
As of recent years, Marr has focused on his solo career, releasing his debut album The Messenger last year and his sophomore effort Playland earlier in October — both of which appeared to strongly positive reviews.
Fans are in for a treat when the guitar great drops by and finally hold a show here. Tickets go on sale at Sistic from Dec. 5 at $88, $108, $128, $148; stay updated on the Facebook event page.
