The musician shared a series of posts on Twitter/X yesterday (September 17), lambasting the shipping company for losing track of some guitars he was trying to transport.
“Dear UPS where are my guitars?,” Marr wrote. “They disappeared a week ago. I’m hearing from you now that they’ve been lost. Explain.”
He then shared a string of posts tagging UPS, alongside the hashtags #fuckUPSinc #freemyguitars, adding: “Asking me to describe what my guitars look like is not filling me with confidence. They look exactly like the ones you put in one of your a delivery vans days ago. Remember?”
Marr went on to describe the missing guitars in question, writing: “Look for one that says ‘80’s Icon’ on the case and another one that says ‘Woke As Fuck’”
UPS have since replied to Marr, saying they will DM him.

In other news, Marr will release a new live album, ‘Look Out Live!’, tomorrow (September 19). The LP consists of 22 tracks recorded at the Eventim Apollo last year as part of his ‘The Spirit Power Tour’, which celebrated the first 10 years of Marr’s solo career.
Included in the tracklist are two songs performed with Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant, Electronic’s ‘Getting Away With It’ and a cover of David Bowie‘s ‘Rebel Rebel’. Both duets are available to stream here.
Meanwhile, he’s set to appear on four tracks on the upcoming Gorillaz album ‘The Mountain’, which was debuted earlier this month during the final of the Damon Albarn-led band’s four gigs at London’s Copper Box Arena.
Elsewhere, Morrissey recently revealed he wants to sell off all of his business interests in The Smiths as he’s “burnt out by any and all connections” to his former bandmates Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce.
The former frontman encouraged potential investors to email him, but later shared that the email address had been “switched off” due to a “colossal response”.
