Crikey - not many posters on this, though there would be more Smiths fans on this (maybe it's in the music section too?)
Anyway, what a great band and Andy seemed like a good egg - RIP

Was very sad to read bout this earlier on….The Smiths really were the soundtrack to my youth, very lucky to have seen them live a few times. I’ll be listening to their albums over the weekend and playing special attention to Mr Rourke’s bass lines. Sad to read of some of his struggles, a great musician who will live long through his music.
