Subject: Andy Rourke: The Smiths bassist dies aged 59
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/20/23 at 3:50 am
Andy Rourke, the bassist for rock band The Smiths, has died aged 59, the band has announced.
Guitarist Johnny Marr confirmed "with deep sadness" that Rourke died after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Marr said: "Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him, and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans".
Morrissey said Rourke "will never die as long as his music is heard".
Rourke played on The Smiths' most famous songs, including This Charming Man and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, as well as featuring on solo singles for singer Morrissey after the group broke up in 1987.
