London, Feb 13 : British singer Steven Patrick Morrissey, 49, has denied that he will be reuniting with 1980s English rock band The Smiths.

While speaking on BBC Radio 2, Morrissey said that getting back with the band was definitely out, as he was "not stuck in the past", and he would not reform just "to wrongfoot people".

"People always ask me about reunions and I can''t imagine why. It baffles me," the BBC quoted him as saying.

"The past seems like a distant place and I''m pleased with that. I feel very much of now," he said during his interview with Stuart Maconie.

Morrissey is due to appear on Friday''s edition of BBC One''s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. (ANI)
