However, behind the band's success, internal tensions and conflicts grow as the years come, eventually leading to the band split.
The feud has recently been revisited as Morrissey demanded former The Smith guitarist Johnny Marr to "politely" stop using his name as clickbait for the band because they were already estranged.
Marr then responded with a sarcastic clapback on Morrissey's demand, fanning a fire that could possibly grow with their retorts.
