Johnny Marr rocks Jimmy Fallon & confirms autobiography

Johnny Marr played Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night. He performed "Generate, Generate" from his solo album The Messenger, then played "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" as a web-exclusive. Check out both performances below:





Meanwhile, in light of Morrissey's recent autobiography, Johnny Marr was asked if he's writing his own. Marr revealed to Brooklyn Vegan that he's indeed going to release an autobiography some day:

"There is gonna be one, yeah. I've had so many offers and so many people advising me that my story is worth it, but I understand it's something that I have to do."

In the meantime, Marr fans may want to check out the newish biography on the Smiths titled A Light That Never Goes Out: The Enduring Saga of The Smiths. Marr was interviewed by author Tony Fletcher for over 15 hours for the biography, which is the first Smiths biography to be published in years.
