Why has it taken so long for Johnny Marr to embrace a career as a solo artist?
After the breakup of The Smiths, it was only a year before we heard the first solo release from enigmatic frontman Morrissey. In contrast, we didn’t see Marr headline an album until 2003, by which point Moz had six albums under his belt.
