It was really nothing: verified Smiths Twitter account not sign of reformation – Morrissey

'Morrissey would like to stress that this account has not been sanctioned by him and has no connection to him. Follow it at your peril'

Hopes have been dashed for fans who thought that a new and verified Smiths Twitter account might signal the reformation of the Manchester group. Morrissey and later the account itself both confirmed that Tweets from the feed will be sent out by Warners.

"A Smiths/Morrissey Google alerts/Twitter account has been opened by Warner UK," reads a post on True To You, a website that Morrissey frequently uses to communicate with the outside world. "Morrissey would like to stress that this account has not been sanctioned by him and has no connection to him. Follow it at your peril."
