Legendary 80s Guitarist, Once Called a Godlike Genius, Announces Solo Album

Johnny Marrhas announced his latest solo album, The Age of Everything, set to be released on October 2, 2026.

The legendary British guitarist's fifth solo record features 10 tracks and will serve as a follow-up to his 2022 release, Fever Dreams Pts 1–4.

    “This is the record that’s been the most cathartic. The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea. It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling,” the former Smiths guitarist said in a statement. “It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”

    In tandem with the album announcement, Marr also unveiled its lead single, "Spin," alongside a music video. According to Setlist.FM, the musician has been previewing the track at concerts over the last few months.

    The album was written in London and recorded in Manchester, Marr's hometown. Later this year, Marr is set to play some of the biggest shows of his solo career, including a mammoth homecoming performance at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl on July 9 and a stop at London's OVO Arena Wembley.

    Marr's previous four solo albums have gone on to gain significant commercial success. In 2022, Fever Dreams Pts 1–4 peaked at No. 4 on the Official Albums Chart, making it his highest charting solo album in the U.K.

    Over the course of his career, Marr has received several lifetime achievement awards in honor of his contributions to the music industry. In 2013, Marr won the NME "Godlike Genius" Award and, in 2018, he was honored with the GQ Lifetime Achievement Award.

    "It’s a very nice thing to be getting this award and I am honored," he said during his acceptance speech for the "Godlike Genius" Award. "I guess it means that some things are alright with the world."
