Description

Today, we delve into the long-standing feud between Robert Smith of The Cure and Morrissey of The Smiths, a rivalry sparked by Morrisseys provocative comments in nineteen eighty-four and fueled by their shared fan base and public disdain for each other. Despite their musical similarities, the frontmen developed a public dislike that lasted for decades, with Morrissey calling Smith a whingebag and Smith responding with his own jabs. The feud extended beyond interviews, with Smith distancing himself from The Smiths during a Spanish television appearance. However, the rivalry eventually cooled down, with Smith reflecting on it as a playful, albeit cutting, exchange.
