Mike Joyce and Stephen Street are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Smiths\u2019 The Queen Is Dead with an in conversation tour.<\/p>\n

The drummer and producer will take a deep dive into the album, with a special guest host at each show, in a run of shows beginning in October.<\/p>\n

In our own<\/a> celebrations of The Queen Is Dead earlier this year, Street told Uncut, \u201cWorking on\u00a0The Queen Is Dead\u00a0was a bit like how The Beatles must\u2019ve felt in the studio. It was like, \u2018We can do anything and people are going to listen to it, because it\u2019s The Smiths.\u2019 I\u2019m so proud of what we did together on that album. The fact that people still hold it in such high regard is really touching.\u201d<\/p>\n
