Guitarist said he was responding to statements made by former bandmate Morrissey
The guitarist and co-songwriter also said he stepped in to “protect the legacy” of the band’s name in a trademark row as he denied claims made by the band’s frontman
Kathryn Thomas: Myself and my husband doing DIY jobs together – I’m thinking: Why did I marry this person?The comments came in a response headlined “Recent statements by Morrissey on his website regarding the trademark of the Smiths name are incorrect”. Marr’s management said: “In 2018, following an attempt by a third party to use the Smiths’ name – and upon discovery that the trademark was not owned by the band – Marr reached out to Morrissey, via his representatives, to work together in protecting the Smiths’ name.“It was subsequently agreed with Morrissey’s lawyers that this trademark was held for the mutual benefit of Morrissey and Marr.
