Andy Rourke, bassist for the Smiths, dies aged 59

Musician described as ‘supremely gifted’ by bandmate Johnny Marr had suffered long illness with pancreatic cancer

www.theguardian.com

Responsible for some amazingly good bass lines.

Also note that you don't often see long illness in the same sentence as pancreatic cancer.

Well there goes the hopes of a Smiths reunion, not that it probably would have happened anyway.

He was an underrated bass player, Morrissey and Marr got most of the kudos for the Smiths but Andy Rourke on bass was an integral part of them.

No better example of his work than this song, great bass line.

Killed a mate of mine about five years ago, brutal campaigner of a disease.

Thank you, have updated. I remember looking for his name in the B’s but it wasn’t there so then went to his real name and again, nothing there so left it. Should have realised to scroll down!
