He's going to be one of the 3Arena band in May
In what is a pretty damn spectacular meeting of musical minds, Johnny Marr will be part of the band on May 26 when celebrated German film composer Hans Zimmer plays Dublin's 3Arena.
"Playing with Hans is always great, all that great music, and the orchestra," enthuses Mr. Marr. "On the stage it goes to another level.”
Zimmer is a serious Hollywood hot property having scored the likes of Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, The Da Vinci Code, Sherlock Holmes and Batman Begins.
Johnny appeared alongside him on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Inception soundtracks, and has previously shared a stage with Zimmer in London and LA.
His Teutonic pal also revealed in 2014 that he'll be gracing Marr's next studio album.
"Johnny's got a plan," he told Bang Showbiz. "I don't want to talk about it too much, but he's roped me into something where we're going to be doing a bit of role reversal. I'm going to be his humble arranger, which is going to be fun. It will be a case of Johnny telling me what to do and I'll do it. It will be for his next album."
