The Smiths turned down a $5 million offer to play a festival show, Morrissey has revealed.
The singer claims he did not take the cash from Coachella festival because "money doesn't come into it". He explained: "It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am."
He also expressed concern that about the Arctic Monkeys rapid rise to fame. "For them it's happening too quickly. They haven't proven anything and they haven't had to work too hard," he said. "It's all a bit unnatural. Yes, they've sold 700,000 albums but it can't be gratifying. They haven't been driving up and down the M1 in a van for 15 years."
