A driving force behind some of the most influential albums in British music history.

Rest in peace Andy Rourke, former bassist of The Smiths. A formidable talent we will forever be thankful for.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
