The Smiths were a rock band active in the 1980s. They were popular in England, where the group originated, and some of their songs were successful in other European countries' charts. When the group split up, there were numerous offers to reunite, but they always refused.

For example, in 2006, The Smiths received an offer to reunite for one day on the Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival stage for $5 million and even that amount didn't convince them. The group vocalist Morrissey said that money didn't have to do with anything. It is known that there was tension between the singer and the guitarist Marr, so it is understandable that the group wouldn't want to work together anymore. The group had its time and it ended, but at least their music remains.
