RIP Andy Rourke (Bassist from The Smiths)

So sad to hear this. Taken by pancreatic cancer far too soon. Be sure and click on the link and watch the performance. Three absolute legends on stage. It has to bug you just a little how much Joyce, Rourke and Marr could have done with the Smiths if Morrissey wasn't such a head case.

One of the best bands ever!

I remember them from that movie about a group of kids that kill off their roommate to get straight As. The character being killed off bought a Smiths album.

Thanks for the link. I had no clue he played with Sinead O'Connor. Such great times. Although I continue to listen on Spotify, took me right back to second year university - with ugly green worn out chesterfields, too much smoke in the air, life sized Sinead on the wall, and The Smiths on album, tape and CD. The in between days. Laughing.

Far too young.

And apparently The Cure wanting to sneak in there!

Such great times.
