“An ‘open letter’ hasn’t really been a thing since 1953.”
But you’ve done all that.
Move on," Morrissey wrote.

“It’s as if it’s possible for you to’t uncross your own legs without mentioning me.
Just stop using my name as clickbait.”
Now, Marr has responded with just as much snark.
“Dear @officialmoz.
Even Donald J Trump had that one down,” he tweeted.
“Also, this fake news business…a bit 2021 yeah ?
Morrissey’s letter notes that the two “haven’t known each other for 35 years.”
The Smiths, which included bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce, broke up in 1987.
Morrissey and Marr have since tossed barbs at each other in the press.
“When we met you and I were not successful.
We both helped each other become whatever it is we are today.
Can you not just leave it at that?”
Morrissey wrote bombastically in his open letter.
