Literary giant Penguin have agreed for the autobiography to be published as a &#8216;Classic&#8217;, before it&#8217;s even been read by the general public.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This puts the former Smith&#8217;s signer alongside authors such as Oscar Wilde, William Blake and Thomas Hardy.\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

Despite everything, he speaks very fondly of Johnny Marr.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am shaken when I hear Johnny play guitar, because he is quite obviously gifted and almost unnaturally multi-talented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.
